He suggested that Harris needs to \u200ddistance \u200dherself from President Joe\u200d Biden and adopt a more centrist campaign strategy to appeal to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-hit-by-desantis-and-iowa-gov-reynolds-amid-fallout-from-abortion-comments\/\" title=\"Trump faces backlash from DeSantis and Iowa Gov.

O&#8217;Leary warned that if Harris\u2063 continues to attack\u2062 big pharma \u200cand big business, it \u200bwould\u200d label her\u200d as \u200coverly left-leaning, potentially harming her \u2064chances \u2063of winning.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the urgency\u200c for \u2063Harris to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/corporate-dei-headed-for-legal-test-after-supreme-court-affirmative-action-ruling\/\" title=\"Supreme Court ruling puts Corporate DEI to legal test.\">develop clear policies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jim-jordan-suspends-bid-for-house-speaker\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan withdraws from House Speaker race.\">address\u200d key issues<\/a> such as\u2062 taxes and border \u200csecurity. O&#8217;Leary believes that failing to\u2063 create a distinct separation from Biden&#8217;s policies, \u2063which he described as &#8220;radioactive waste&#8221; for voters, could provide a \u200ccompetitive advantage for former President Trump. His comments were made during a segment on Fox News, where he expressed hope \u200bfor Harris to recognize the need for this strategic \u200cshift as the election \u200dapproaches.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kevin O&rsquo;Leary argues Harris must &lsquo;distance herself&rsquo; from Biden to win election<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1731580\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/shark-tank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Shark Tank<\/a> <\/em>star and international businessman Kevin O&rsquo;Leary advised Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> on several steps she needs to take to win the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 election<\/a>, including ditching President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>O&rsquo;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.
