Last summer, during the height of the presidential campaign—not the Biden v. Trump one, the Harris v. Trump one—I heard a rumor while in the MSNBC green room. Mark Cuban, the former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Shark Tank stalwart, and indefatigable Democratic surrogate, had been asked to submit VP vetting papers by the Harris campaign.
I never was able to nail down the rumor—until now. In an interview Thursday, Cuban confirmed that he was, indeed, asked. He also said that he declined the offer because his vetting book would be too long and it wasn’t worth the trouble for someone who, in his own admission, would not be “very good as the number-two person.”
Beyond raising the tantalizing possibility of what the 2024 campaign could have been, Cuban also addressed a wide variety of other matters: his plan to fix health care, the Trump report card, AI, crypto, Nikola Jokic, and whether there’s a chance he might try to run for president himself in 2028.
Check out the preview clip and tune in tomorrow for the full interview. While you’re at it, subscribe to The Bulwark below, where you can get adfree podcasts, among other great things.

No thanks Cuban. Crybay...
If true, I wouldn’t admit this publicly.
The fact that a moronic evil person likes you is not an endorsement; it is the opposite.
Ha ha ha!
A smarmy unfunny Jewish Al Czervik!
I don’t think so...
Another person who needs a curb stomp and thinks that wealth equates to superiority. Just hearing his name makes my stomach turn. My ex used to turn on shark tank and I would leave the room, sometimes the house. He is scum.
Mark or your spouse?.............
He is not eligible.
Why?.................
Yawn.
Not American. He is a foreigner.
? My spouse was female. Cuban is scum.
His bio says he was born in Pittsburgh, his grandparents emigrated here from Russia through Ellis Island...............
I don’t like Cuban, but even he had the sense to know Word Salad Annie wasn’t about to pick an aggressive male for her VP. My guess is that one arm of the Harris campaign dangled the VP nomination as bait while another hit Cuban up for a mega donation.
Is he admitting that they didn’t find him man enough so they went with tampon tim?
He declined because he knew he would get smashed and his “secret” lifestyle exposed!!
Sorry, I thought you were the wife! I just found out another FReeper I’d been conversing with for years was a female and thought for years she was a male! Can’t tell with just a screen name.
And yes, Cuban is a scumbag. But reading his bio, by all rights he should be a conservative Republican considering his background as a child and growing up.
How do these self-made billionaires become communists? It doesn’t make any sense. If they are successful in turning the US into a socialist state then they will be the first to be sent to the gulags along with their media sycophants. It happens every time and everywhere that communists take over. Can they not see that?.................
Possibly. But him being a billionaire and having interests on possibly hundreds of SharkTank companies, as well as others, his financials would be under a microscope........
Sure markee mark. That would only offer more proof that that entire campaign was being run by fidiots.
Considering they eventually went with Walz, who likely had multiple bigger secrets than his being a recruited CCP intelligence asset, you got to wonder what sort of vetting they were actually doing.
