Entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently spoke at a campaign event for US Vice President Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, showing his support for her in the upcoming election against former President Donald Trump. Despite his active campaigning for Harris, Cuban made it clear that he has no interest in pursuing a White House cabinet position or any political role.
During an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Cuban stated, “I have no interest in being a politician of any type. I have no interest in serving in the cabinet for Kamala Harris or anybody. I like being a disruptor as an entrepreneur.” This statement contradicted earlier remarks where he hinted at the possibility of taking on a governmental role, such as suggesting himself as a replacement for Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler.
Although he has not made any financial contributions to Harris’s campaign, Cuban has been actively participating in rallies and media interviews to advocate for the Democratic presidential nominee. He has also shared his policy ideas for a potential Harris administration, particularly focusing on corporate regulation. For instance, he recommended that if Harris were to become president, she should consider replacing Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, whom he believes is not as effective as she should be in addressing the issues of Big Tech companies.
Cuban’s involvement in Harris’s campaign demonstrates his commitment to supporting her bid for the presidency. Despite his previous comments about potentially taking on a government role, he seems content with his current position as an entrepreneur and disruptor in the business world. His efforts to promote Harris and share his policy perspectives add an interesting dynamic to the campaign trail and highlight the diverse range of voices contributing to the political discourse in the lead-up to the election.
