Should do 2028. 24 would be too rushed
hes selling all of his assets because hes gonna have to pay up soon with hes failed crypto investments and such
I mean isn’t it somewhat late to join?
Not if you’re a Texas billionaire that can self-fund.
Too late to compete in a major party primary thanks to filing deadlines, not too late to run as an independent.
There’s also a Texas governor’s race in 2026.
Not as an independent. And an independent would actually have one of the better chances in history of winning in 2024. Half of Republican voters would jump at any non-Democrat besides Trump. And Biden won 2020 largely on the back of being “not Trump”, but isn’t terribly popular with moderates or even many Democrats.
A solid middle of the road candidate could actually do it in 2024. No idea of Cuban is that guy, but being a household name helps a ton.
Don’t think he really has a lane to run in 2024. He’s not pulling much of Trump’s core support, and while he might pull disaffected Republicans, primary polling suggests that’s around 36% of Republican voters (assuming everyone but Trump and Ramaswamy voters are disaffected). Recent Polling from Gallup suggests that around 46.8% of the country consider themselves Republicans or Republican-leaning Independents, while about 45.5% of the country consider themselves Democrats or Democratic-leaning Independents.
So the disaffected Republicans give Cuban 16.8% of the voters, true Independents (those that expressed a lean towards neither the Democrats nor Republicans) give him another 6.75%. That gives him 23.55% of the voters, while Trump is sitting on 29.95% of the voters. That means to win the popular vote, he’d need to siphon off another 11% of voters from Biden. As Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents are 45.5% of voters, that means he’d have to take 24% of the support from an incumbent president. Do you see a quarter of Biden voters abandoning him in a 3 way race that Trump is threatening to win? And given the polarization within many states, I don’t think Cuban could win any but the most purple states.
If you look at a party lean index, and give Cuban every state that’s within 5 points (excluding Florida because it’s Trump’s home state, but including Texas because it’s Cuban’s home state), he comes up with 179 electoral votes. Not sure I see a path for the remaining 91 electoral votes. If the election goes to the House, I do not see any path for Cuban to win the presidency.
He will not win many votes because both Republicans and Democrats are afraid that voting for an independent will result in the other major party’s victory.
Same scenario happened in Utah in 2016 when Evan McMullin ran for president. While some polls showed him beating both Trump and Clinton in Utah, he ended up in 3rd with less than half of Trump’s votes.
Not if he ran as an Independent.
I think he’s going big on pharma. He’s also committed to shark tank for another year so running wouldn’t make sense
Tbh even with the rumours he never really seemed the sort of person willing to put up with the bs that becoming the president would require.
I could be wrong but he seems like he’d rather relax than deal with that nonsense
He seems like the type of person that would continually flirt with running for president just to get the attention from it
Incidentally, we recently had one of those as president
Jfc
He’s too young for that
Just like how I have no plans to jerk off when I get home from work. Doesn’t mean I won’t tho.
Thank God
He is like 20 years too young for an American president
Reddit wrong again how shocking
He should announce his plans to run for President of Basketball Operations
Sounds like someone thinking about running for president would say.
The other thought I had was, illness.
Appreciate the good news
Nice return on the Mavs by Mark
I’m pretty sure it’s financially impossible to lose money on a professional American sports team if you pay a reasonable price.
