\n\tDuring a recent appearance on \u201cThe Bulwark\u201d podcast, Mark Cuban revealed he was invited to submit himself for consideration to become former Vice President Kamala Harris\u2018 running mate in the 2024 presidential election. However, the \u201cShark Tank\u201d star, an outward supporter of the Harris campaign, turned the offer down.<\/p>\n
\n\tInterviewer 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.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThere was some green room gossip at MSNBC,\u201d Miller said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t tell you this if it wasn\u2019t pretty good. Somebody I kind of trust said that they asked you to send in VP vetting papers and you said, \u2018No, the list would be too long.\u2019 Is that true?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tCuban confirmed the rumors to be true and elaborated on his decision to bow out of the race.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe second part of that, my response was I\u2019m not very good as the number two person,\u201d Cuban explained. \u201cAnd so if the last thing we need is me telling Kamala, you know, the president that, \u2018No, that\u2019s a dumb idea.\u2019 Right? And I\u2019m not real good at shaking hands and kissing babies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz was the one ultimately selected to run alongside Harris. There was speculation that her runner-up choices would\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
