HARD PASS

Mark Cuban Addresses Whether He’d Run for President in 2028

The billionaire business man gave a hard pass to running for president in 2028.

Shark Tank star and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban has insisted he will not run for president in 2028. “Hell no. It’s not going to happen,” Cuban, 66, said Saturday at the Principles First convention, a gathering of anti-Trump conservatives, Politico reported. “No, I don’t want to be president. I’d rather f--- up health care,” a reference to Cuban’s new drug company, Cost Plus. Cuban previously flirted with running for president in 2020. A recent poll found Cuban at 7% in the 2028 Democratic primary of possible candidates. Cuban, who is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, supported Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election and stumped for her on the campaign trail. “I mean, it’s kind of fun, actually. I learned that the Democrats can’t sell s---,” he said of his involvement. Cuban criticized the Democratic party for being “too reflexive” to Trump, saying that simply pointing out “Trump sucks” was not an effective campaign strategy for Democrats.
