Kevin O'Leary Criticizes Democrats Over Kamala Harris Nomination

The 'Shark Tank' star's comments on CNN sparked controversy about the Democratic Party's selection process.

Kevin O'Leary, known for his role on 'Shark Tank,' clashed with CNN panelists over the Democratic Party's decision to nominate Kamala Harris without a primary election.
O'Leary argued that the decision to bypass a primary process for Harris mirrors past criticisms of the Democratic Party's handling of nominations, such as with Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The debate highlighted tensions around the perceived role of party elites in influencing the nomination process, with O'Leary questioning the democratic nature of Harris's selection.
CNN host Abby Phillip and other panelists countered O'Leary's claims by emphasizing that political parties have the autonomy to choose their nominees without a primary.
The discussion raised broader questions about voter interest in the internal processes of political parties and the implications for democratic representation.
