Mark Cuban’s Endorsement of Joe Biden

Mark Cuban recently affirmed his commitment to vote for President Joe Biden in the upcoming November elections, expressing his unwavering support even in hypothetical scenarios where Biden’s health might be failing.

Firm Support for Biden

In a statement to Bloomberg, Cuban asserted that he would cast his vote for Biden regardless of circumstances, stating, “If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden.” This declaration underscores Cuban’s steadfast allegiance to the current president.

Background and Political Views

Cuban, a billionaire investor and co-founder of the low-cost online pharmacy, Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Co., has a history of vocalizing his political opinions. His antipathy towards former President Donald Trump is well-documented, dating back to 2016 when he described having a “love-hate relationship” with Trump.

Biden’s Relevance in Cuban’s Decision

Despite acknowledging that Biden and Trump might not represent the pinnacle of presidential candidates, Cuban believes that the current political landscape leaves little room for alternatives. He expressed concerns over the political duopoly and the lack of diversity in the presidential candidate pool.

Concerns Over Biden’s Health

Speculation regarding Biden’s health has circulated, fueled by reports of memory issues raised in a special counsel report. However, Biden has vehemently contested these claims, asserting his capability to continue fulfilling his duties as president.

Cuban’s Protest Vote

In a notable move, Cuban announced his intention to cast a “protest vote against Trump” by supporting former UN ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary. Despite Haley’s win in her first GOP primary, she trails significantly behind Trump in terms of delegate count, highlighting the challenges she faces in securing the GOP presidential nomination.

Outlook on Super Tuesday

The upcoming Super Tuesday primaries on March 5 will see Trump and Haley competing once again in 15 state primaries. While Haley’s victory provides her with some momentum, she faces an uphill battle in surpassing Trump’s delegate count and securing the nomination.
