Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban said he is "considering" running for president of the United States in a new podcast posted on Tuesday.
In an interview on former Democratic South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers' podcast ViewPoint, Cuban said he is an "independent all the way through" who tries to remain informed and objective on issues.
Sellers noted that Cuban supported Hillary Clinton during her campaign against President Donald Trump in 2016 and asked if he would help Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.
Cuban said he would "probably not" be on the trail during the midterms.
"Mark, are you considering running for president of the United States?" Sellers asked.
"Yes. Considering, yes," Cuban said. "Ready to commit to it, no."
Cuban said he would approach the question of running differently than others, saying if he felt he could come up with solutions on issues like tax reform that people could get behind, it would make "perfect sense" to run.
"If it comes down to, Do I think I can win because I can convince more people to vote for me?' Then no, I won't run," Cuban said.
.@mcuban tells me he is "seriously considering" running for POTUS. New pod out now! https://t.co/ckOMQXoFHZ

Cuban remarked in 2015 that he could beat both Trump and Clinton if he decided to run in 2016, although he stayed out of the race.
Cuban owns the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and also serves as one of the rotating "shark" investors on the hit show "Shark Tank."
I’m praying for Mark Cuban adding his valuable input to the Democrat Party.
Maybe Summers Eve needs a new president.
He can’t run, he’s Cuban.
No, he’s American, 2nd generation..................
Lets not forget Zuckerberg is considering running. These 2 “billionaires” think Donald won they could too. Boy! they are totally wrong, they still do not get it.
I wouldn’t be surprised at the skeletons in his closet.
It would be fun to watch them waste millions and throw the Demorat party into further disarray.
Maybe he will run with John Kasich
Maybe in 20 years the Democrats will be ready to run someone who’s neither a woman nor a Negro.
I’m considering laughing a little more than I already do at the cuban.
Well they are from the same part of the country..................
I met a screenwriter back in the early 2000s who told me that cuban was shopping for a reality-based tv show to star in. She specifically mentioned that cuban wanted to model himself after Trump.
At least as a leftwing A-horn he’d have the respect of Ryan and McConnell.
That makes it official - White Liberal Elites propped up by the Black Community, Brown Community and illegals who vote - - illegally.
Good Luck Mark Cuban seems that the identity politics democrats used to gather votes now exists on our side too... No longer ‘ugly for thee but not for me’... now it's ugly tribal politics on both sides of the aisle. One more culture downgrade we can thank ‘liberals’ for... Play the race card Mark - it's a deuce in today's world...Oh, and please don't shoot us up at Country Music Festivals... we're NOT confused about the motive. It was a white liberal elite murdering Trump voters. If you don't 'get that' call the people at CBS who were embarrassed one of their own spoke out in public....
Oh goody. His presidency would be worse than the movie he was in as president.
I read that he’s considering running for Prime Minister of Canada. I think he would smoke Trudeau.
Imagine two hard and serious businessmen running all of North America.
The bloom is off Cuban’s rose the day Dirk retires. If not for Nowitzki, the Mavericks would be a perennial lottery team. He’s as bad as Jerry Jones in picking talent.
Trump did it, now every rich guy thinks they can. Please run and humiliate yourself Cuban
Well, good for you Skippy!
