Ancient Shark tank star Mark Cuban said he had been courted as a potential package for the presidential candidate Kamala Harris During the 2024 elections.
The owner of the Dallas Mavericks minority, 66, told “Rampart” Podcast on Friday June 20, that he was in contact with the Harris campaign before the Governor of Minnesota TIM WALTZ was chosen as a running mate in August 2024.
Host Tim Miller said he had heard “green gossip at MSNBC” on Cuban negotiations with Harris and asked if Cuban refused to send “VP verification documents” because “the list would be too long”.
“Yeah,” replied Cuban. “The second part of this, my answer, was that I am not very good as a number two.”
Cuban continued: “The last thing we need is that I say to Kamala, you know, the president, that” no, it’s a stupid idea “. No? And I’m not really good to shake hands and kiss babies.
The magnate agreed with Miller’s assessment that the 2024 presidential campaign would have been completely “different” if he had found himself as a vice-president candidate.
“Obviously, it would have been different,” he said. “My personality is completely different from that of Tim. My experiences, my journey is different. I think I cut the S *** more directly. I am not a politician.”
He then joked: “It would have been different but it would have been horrible! She would have dismissed me within six days. “
