Shark Tank star and international businessman Kevin O’Leary advised Vice President Kamala Harris on several steps she needs to take to win the 2024 election, including ditching President Joe Biden.

O’Leary wondered if Harris could run a campaign that is more centrist, which could win over voters who do not align with a specific party. He cautioned that if Harris’s strategy is simply to “bash big pharma” and “big business,” it would make her appear as “a leftist,” as she has throughout her vice presidency and make a loss more likely.

“So my prediction is, and we’ll know more next week after the convention, she has to get rid of Biden,” O’Leary said on Fox News’s The Story with Martha MacCallum. “I understand the heritage thing and everything, but she’s got to distance herself from Bidenomics, that is radioactive waste for voters! So, if she doesn’t bring some daylight in and go to the center, she’ll just lose, and I’m sure she knows that. That’s free fodder for Trump. And I’m not trying to diss Biden or be partisan, but that’s a losing strategy.”

O’Leary also stressed the need for Harris to establish her policies and how she plans to address the topics that voters face, including taxes, border security, and energy. He also argued that Harris must demonstrate she can discuss her policies without a teleprompter, as being able to conduct interviews and defend her policies live is very important.

“Has she learned anything about how to deal with it in a one-on-one basis?” O’Leary said. “That’s going to be where the tire hits the road.”

Since taking Biden’s place as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential candidate, Harris has yet to conduct an interview with the press. X owner Elon Musk has offered to do a live discussion with Harris on X, similar to the one he did with former President Donald Trump on Monday night. 

Sports journalist Stephen A. Smith has also offered to interview both Harris and Trump.
