He confirmed that he received vetting documents but expressed a lack of interest, stating he does not see himself as a suitable number two, citing his different personality and approach to politics. Cuban believes he would not fit the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >traditional vice presidential role<\/a>,as he lacks the social skills necessary for the position,such as &#8220;shaking hands and kissing babies.&#8221; He stated that if he were chosen, he likely would have been dismissed quickly. Despite declining the opportunity, Cuban supports Harris due to his strong opposition to former President Donald Trump, emphasizing that his endorsement primarily stemmed from that sentiment and not from a belief in her candidacy. Additionally, he has expressed interest in a potential role as the SEC commissioner, highlighting his concerns about financial regulation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mark Cuban says Harris campaign requested he submit vetting papers during 2024 VP search<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2111304\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Shark Tank<\/em> star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mark-cuban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mark Cuban<\/a> confirmed speculation that Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> team approached him as a running mate during the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>While he acknowledged receiving vetting documents, Cuban made it clear he had no interest in stepping into the role of second-in-command.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3448577\/eu-inquiry-x-elon-musk-bigger-fine\/\">New EU inquiry into Musk&#8217;s X acquisition opens the door to a bigger fine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3448451\/jim-clyburn-endorses-cuomo-nyc-mayor\/\">Jim Clyburn endorses Cuomo for NYC mayor, calls him someone who can &#8216;save the nation&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3448537\/vance-federal-officers-marines-in-la-anti-ice-riots\/\">Vance to speak with federal officers, Marines in LA after anti-ICE riots<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;My response was I&rsquo;m not very good as the No. 2 person,&rdquo; Cuban <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebulwark.com\/p\/mark-cuban-harris-camp-asked-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">told <em>Bulwark<\/em><\/a>  podcast host Tim Miller, explaining his reluctance to consider the offer seriously. &ldquo;And I&rsquo;m not really good at shaking hands and kissing babies.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cuban, who joined Harris on the campaign trail, said he doesn&rsquo;t have the personality to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> and that if Harris had picked him as a running mate, he would have been fired in six days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a politician,&rdquo; Cuban said. &ldquo;My personality is completely different. &hellip; I think I&rsquo;ve cut through the [nonsense] more directly.
