Mark Cuban Declares Opposition to Kamala Harris's 2028 Presidential Run

Investor Mark Cuban has publicly stated that he does not support former Vice President Kamala Harris running for president in the 2028 election. During an interview at Politico’s Health Care Summit, Cuban, who previously endorsed Harris during her 2024 campaign against President Donald Trump, expressed indifference towards her potential candidacy, saying, “Don’t remember, don’t care. Those days are gone.” He emphasized that his current focus is on reforming the healthcare industry rather than endorsing political candidates.

Cuban's comments reflect his commitment to healthcare reform. He founded the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Company in 2022, which aims to provide pharmaceuticals at cost plus a fixed markup. He has also supported the Break Up Big Medicine Act, co-sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), which seeks to dismantle healthcare conglomerates to lower costs and reduce conflicts of interest. Cuban criticized the current healthcare system, stating, “Until you break those companies up and make them divest their non-insurance assets, they own your health care.”

When pressed about Harris's healthcare policies, Cuban reiterated his lack of interest, stating, “I don’t care at this point in time. Right now, we’ve got until 2028. I don’t care who the candidates are.” He indicated a willingness to support a Republican candidate who aligns with his healthcare reform goals, asserting that both parties need to prioritize better and cheaper healthcare.

A recent Yale Polling survey indicated that some Democratic Party members view Cuban as a more electable candidate for the 2028 presidential election than Harris. Cuban's remarks suggest a desire for new leadership, as he stated, “There’s time for a lot of new sh*t right now.” He expressed a non-partisan approach to politics, saying, “Get rid of both parties, I’m happier,” highlighting his focus on practical solutions over party affiliation.
