'Shark Tank's' Kevin O'Leary says Harris needs to stop hiding from press: 'Come out wherever you are'
"Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary blasted Vice President Harris for avoiding the press since she became the Democratic presidential nominee, saying that there was "no scenario" where it was acceptable for someone running to be President of the United States.
"Let's be bipartisan for a moment and let's agree on one thing: There's no scenario where the President of the United States can't head up a press conference. Under any scenario," O'Leary said on Monday's "Outnumbered." "Every president, every president has been able to address the press. And in the good times and the bad times. She has to start talking to the press, period."
O'Leary, one of the famous investors on Shark Tank and chairman of O'Leary Ventures, said investors like himself and swing state voters want answers from the Democratic presidential candidate, but she has thus far refused to lay out her policies in detail.

"I need explanations for these policies because I have to invest on these policies," the businessman and chairman of O'Leary Ventures said. "I have questions and I don't get any answers. I'm not being unreasonable."
"Come out, come out, wherever you are and talk to the press!" he demanded.
Harris has gone over five weeks without giving specifics to voters about her policy positions, holding formal news conferences or sitting for major interviews since becoming the Democrats' presidential nominee.
Despite ignoring the press, the vice president's campaign has benefited from positive media coverage since President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. One study from a conservative organization found that Harris had received 84% positive coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts since
