Kevin O'Leary Signals Support for Trump's GOP Only Because Markets Lack Better Options

Kevin O’Leary, chairman of O’Leary Ventures and a Shark Tank investor, said ahead of the midterms that he is staying the course with President Donald Trump’s Republicans, describing the U.S. as the default economy for global investors. He argued that voters face a choice of offers and cited 52 cents of every internationally invested dollar coming to the U.S., without giving a source. A 2025 Economic Report of the President measured the U.S. share of global gross capital inflows at about 41% for 2022 and 2023. Republicans entered the vote defending a 53-47 Senate majority, with persistent inflation, a war with Iran and falling Trump approval cited as headwinds.
