Millionaire investor Kevin O’Leary reminded a CNN panel that he had suggested Democrats not just “grant” Vice President Kamala Harris the 2024 nomination.
The “Shark Tank” star shared a clip on social media of his remarks on CNN where he suggested the panelists owed him an apology since he was evidently correct in his recommendation on the election campaign. O’Leary concluded that Democrats are paying the price for choosing to run Harris as their nominee.
“It reminds me of a moment we were together months ago and maybe it’s time for me to ask for an apology,” he said, recounting how he “suggested to everybody here that we should have run a process rather than just grant Kamala Harris her ability to run without a democratic process.”
I suggested to everybody that we should have run a process rather than just grant Kamala Harris her ability to run without a democratic process. She got slaughtered in the election. You can all apologize to me now. Thank you. I appreciate it.
She also took the democratic brand… pic.twitter.com/FDR3lAUfAr

“She got slaughtered in the election,” he continued.
“You can apologize to me now, thank you,” O’Leary quipped. “I appreciate it.”
CNN host Abby Phillip pushed back at O’Leary’s take but admitted that Democrats “paid the price” for choosing Harris.
“You kept saying that it was unconstitutional when my point was…that the Democrats can run whatever process or lack of process that they want,” she said. “They did what they did. They paid the price for it, but they are entitled to do that.”
“Is that an apology?” O’Leary interjected.
He went on to note that Harris also “took the Democratic brand down 15 points.”
“Next time maybe she can run and see if she can win. I bet you she has no chance of ever having leadership in the Democratic Party again,” he wrote in his caption on X where many agreed with him.
Yep and when you look at her history of getting jobs she clearly wasn’t qualified for and wasn’t performing it is all very predictable. They counted on the media way too much in today’s climate of immediate dispute of lies and exaggerations.

You’re right, but the Dems are still in denial.

They don’t want to hear the truth.

You’re absolutely CORRECT! Kamala Harris’s political career is O V E R…on a national basis anyway.

She did get slaughtered.
The Democrats got slaughtered.

The idiots on this panel assert that Harris was their best option. Really? Well, that should tell you all about where the Democrats are. They are done for a while. We need to now get back California and New York.

The irony of saying the “democratic” party can run whatever process or lack of process they want is hilarious to me
