Overview

• Mark Cuban confirmed on The Bulwark podcast that Kamala Harris’s team asked him to submit vetting materials for vice president during her 2024 campaign.
• He said he turned down the request because he’s “not very good as the number two person” and jokingly added that he would lack the required political finesse.
• Cuban quipped that, had he joined the ticket, Harris would have fired him within six days due to his outspoken style.
• Harris ultimately selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over Cuban and other finalists including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. Mark Kelly.
• The Harris-Walz ticket went on to lose the 2024 election to President Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
