Mark Cuban Turned Down the Offer When Asked to Submit to be Kamala Harris' Vice President in 2024 Presidential Election: ‘I'm Not Very Good as the Number Two Person'
During a recent appearance on 'The Bulwark' podcast, Mark Cuban revealed he was invited to submit himself for consideration to become former Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 presidential election. However, the 'Shark Tank' star, an outward supporter of the Harris campaign, turned the offer down. Interviewer Tim Miller opened the segment by prefacing that he had heard rumors at MSNBC that Cuban was tapped to join Harris on the campaign trail.

'I wouldn't tell you this if it wasn't pretty good. Somebody I kind of trust said that they asked you to send in VP vetting papers and you said, 'No, the list would be too long.' Is that true?' Cuban confirmed the rumors to be true and elaborated on his decision to bow out of the race. 'The second part of that, my response was I'm not very good as the number two person,' Cuban explained. 'And so if the last thing we need is me telling Kamala, you know, the president that, 'No, that's a dumb idea.' Right? And I'm not real good at shaking hands and kissing babies.' Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was the one ultimately selected to run alongside Harris. There was speculation that her runner-up choices would've been Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, former governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper or Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Donald Trump, who went on to win the 2024 election, selected JD Vance as his vice president.

Mark Cuban Says He Turned Down Kamala Harris' Offer to Be Considered for VP: ‘I'm Not Very Good as a No. 2'
Mark Cuban says he turned down an offer to be a candidate for Kamala Harris' vice president, telling The Bulwark podcast that he didn't even consider it because his personality isn't right for the second-fiddle job. The tech billionaire and 'Shark Tank' host's revelation during an appearance on Tim Miller's podcast caught the attention of Fox News, where the hosts of 'Fox & Friends Weekend' bandied about the idea of the Dallas Mavericks minority owner-as-veep. 'My response was I'm not very good as a number two person,' Cuban said on the clip they played from Tim Miller's show. 'It's the last thing we need is me telling Kamala, 'No, that's a dumb idea.' I'm not real good at shaking hands. My personality was different than times and backgrounds, and I think I've cut through the [bleep] more directly and impact on hearing — not a politician. So [I] would have been different but would have been awful … she would have fired me.' Fox News guest contributor Kaylee McGhee White responded by saying Harris may have dodged a bullet – even if Cuban was only asked to go through the vetting process (and was not necessarily the top choice). 'The fact there's an option worse than Tim Walz is really astounding, and I consider Mark Cuban to be far worse,' she said. 'It's interesting he says the reason not going through the vetting process is he didn't want to be Kamala Harris' No. 2. That suggests one of two things: Either Mark Cuban has political aspirations for the future, which are unfortunate consequences of Trump's race, convinced every mid-celebrity they can be high up in the politics.' She also considered that Cuban saw the Harris campaign as 'a sinking ship.' McGhee White added that Democrats are still looking for a scapegoat for Harris' defeat, but disagreed with the notion that they have no leaders. 'They're not leaderless or genderless and [there are] plenty of loud voices setting a tone for the party, and they happen to be trying to be arrested and storing these facilities and garaging into the press conferences,' she said. 'And they want to train them to open the borders and flood with crime and chaos.' Watch the entire exchange in the above clip.
