Kevin O'Leary: Kamala Harris Could Be 'Another Justin Trudeau' - 'That Country Is On Its Knees!'

Renowned entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary voiced his concerns about the possibility of Kamala Harris becoming the next president of the United States.

What Happened: O’Leary compared Harris to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, expressing his apprehension about her potential presidency.

In an interview, O’Leary described Harris as “inconsequential” in her current role and a “blank sheet of paper” as a candidate.

“I don't know what that looks like and nobody does because she's like a blank sheet of paper,” he stated.

O’Leary, a Canadian by birth, drew a parallel between Harris and Trudeau, whom he has previously criticized for his management skills.

"There's an example of an it kid up in Canada a few years ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Nobody looked at his background, nobody looked at his policies. He was the ‘it kid,’" O'Leary said.

"That country is on its knees! He wiped it out! He had no executional skills. Are Americans basically going to hire or basically bring a president that's another Justin Trudeau? I hope not."

O’Leary’s remarks also highlight the ongoing debate about the role and influence of the vice presidency, and the potential implications of a vice president ascending to the presidency.
