Thank goodness this didn’t happen.
In a surprising revelation that’s raising eyebrows across the political spectrum, billionaire entrepreneur and longtime Trump critic Mark Cuban has admitted he rejected an offer from Kamala Harris to join her failed 2024 presidential campaign as a potential running mate.
During a newly released clip from The Bulwark podcast, Cuban revealed that Harris’s campaign team asked him to submit vetting materials — a key step in selecting a vice-presidential candidate. But the outspoken investor said no, claiming he was a terrible fit for the role.
“I’m not good at being the number two,” Cuban said bluntly. “The last thing we need is me telling President Kamala that her idea is dumb. That’s just not me.”
Cuban, who previously campaigned against President Trump and made headlines for attacking his leadership on shows like The View, acknowledged that even though he believed Harris would win, he had no interest in serving under her.
“She probably would’ve fired me in six days,” he joked. “I’m not a politician. I don’t play the games.”
Cuban vs. Reality: Trump and Vance Overwhelmingly Won
Despite Cuban’s confidence in the Democratic ticket, Trump and Vice President JD Vance secured a decisive victory in 2024, energizing millions of working-class Americans fed up with failed liberal leadership, soaring inflation, and progressive chaos.
Podcast host Tim Miller pointed out that Cuban could have been a more dynamic choice than Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who ultimately ran with Harris — and lost. Cuban admitted that while the outcome may have looked different, it wouldn’t have been any better.
“It would’ve been different, sure,” Cuban said. “But it would’ve been awful.”
Empty Attacks, No Real Plan
Cuban once claimed Trump “doesn’t surround himself with strong, intelligent women,” yet when offered the chance to help lead alongside Harris, he walked away. That’s the pattern we’ve seen over and over from liberal elites — plenty of criticism, no real solutions.
While Cuban played pundit, Trump built a movement — one that flipped key states, strengthened the border, and restored economic stability for retirees, veterans, and middle-class families.
