Mark Cuban says he has no plans to ever run for office

“No, hell no,” Cuban told Wired’s Lauren Goode in an interview published Thursday.

The “Shark Tank” star made the remarks in a wide-ranging interview where he talked about Political Views and its cheap online pharmacy, Cost Plus Medicines.

“Who would submit to that? I can do more in the private sector,” Cuban told Goode.

“You can’t be president and change health care. You have to have the Congress behind you, and this and that,” he added. “As an entrepreneur, you can change anything. Jensen Huang, what he’s doing with Nvidia, can pretty much define what’s going to happen by how he prices things.”

To be sure, there has long been speculation that Cuban might run for president one day.

In June 2020, Cuban told CNN senior political commentator David Axelrod that he was seriously considering a run for the presidency as an independent candidate that year.

“My family voted against it,” Cuban told Axelrod. – Otherwise I would have done it.

However, rumors began to swirl again last year after Cuban sold his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks and announced his departure from “Shark Tank.”

But Cuban again dismissed the speculation when he told NBC News in November that he “has no plans to run.”

However, Cuban — who is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in this election — told Bloomberg in March that he is not a fan of the two-party system.

“You know, parties vote one-sidedly, right? They all vote the same despite representing districts or states across the country. It’s just crazy,” Cuban said in an interview with Bloomberg’s “Working Capital,” broadcast in August.

Cuban did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside regular business hours.
