‘Shark Tank’ investor Kevin O'Leary is all-in for one of the top contenders to be former President Trump's 2024 running mate. In an interview on 'Fox & Friends Weekend,' Mr. Wonderful gave a glowing endorsement of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who he said would be a 'terrific' choice for Trump. 'I've been going to North Dakota for years now, and I've seen what he can do with execution skills.
The former president visited D.C. last week to meet with Republican lawmakers and unify the party ahead of the convention. Asked whether his VP choice was among those he met with, Trump said, 'Probably. I don't want to go, but I think will probably get announced during the convention.' 'There were some good people, and we have some very good people.' The convention will be held from July 15 through 18 in Milwaukee.
But Burgum is the clear choice for O'Leary. 'He's pro-business, he's pro-growth, he's pro-innovation, he's pro-entrepreneur. You would want that in every state. I know this sounds crazy, but if you're a Democrat right now listening to this, you want Doug Burgum as vice president … he's not partisan in any way when it comes to building the American economy up. He works with both sides all the time. That's how you get stuff done.
