Mark Cuban, the billionaire businessman, just admitted Kamala Harris wanted him as her running mate last year. He turned her down flat. This news shows how desperate the Democrats were to find someone to help her beat President Trump.
Cuban said the Harris campaign asked him to go through the vetting process to be vice president. He refused because he wouldn’t make a good number two. Cuban joked that he’s terrible at shaking hands and kissing babies, which is a big part of the job.
The Shark Tank star openly confessed this during a podcast interview. He laughed about how long his vetting would take because of his business dealings. Cuban wasn’t shy about his reasons for saying no to the Democrats.
Harris ended up picking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz instead. Even with Walz, she lost badly to President Trump in the 2024 election. Trump crushed her with 312 electoral votes while she couldn’t even reach 270.
This whole mess proves how clueless the Democrats were about picking a team. They tried grabbing a flashy billionaire instead of someone with real experience. That kind of poor judgment is exactly why they lost the White House.
Cuban was one of Harris’s biggest cheerleaders during the campaign. He went on TV and fought online with Trump supporters constantly. But when she actually needed him to step up, he bailed on her.
Imagine how much worse it would’ve been if Cuban had said yes. He would’ve been a disaster as vice president. The country dodged a bullet when he turned Harris down.
President Trump’s victory showed that hardworking Americans want real leaders, not celebrity stunts. The Democrats’ failed VP search just proves how out of touch they are with regular people.
