Mark Cuban has made it abundantly clear that he won’t be casting his vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming November election. Instead, the billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks has thrown his full support behind Kamala Harris, praising her policies and vision for “redefining” the Democratic Party. Cuban has been vocal about his political leanings and has taken several jabs at Trump in recent weeks, using his platform to criticize both the former president and the broader media landscape.
In a series of tweets, Cuban recently accused the mainstream media of shielding Trump from proper scrutiny. “No question, the MSM protects the Republican candidate by not reporting on what he literally says. If anyone else used the exact same language, they would dismiss them as incoherent, senile, incompetent or worse,” Cuban wrote, clearly frustrated by what he perceives as a lack of critical coverage of Trump’s rhetoric. This statement is in line with Cuban’s ongoing critiques, as he believes the media has failed to hold Trump accountable in the same way they would others.
As the election draws near, Cuban is expected to intensify his political commentary, particularly on social media, where he frequently engages with his followers on key issues. One recent interaction sparked significant attention, as Cuban posed a direct question to Trump supporters regarding one of the country’s most pressing issues: the rising cost of living.
“For all supporters of the Republican nominee: What specifically will he do to lower grocery and other prices? I’m curious,” Cuban posted on his social media, inviting responses from those backing Trump.

Unsurprisingly, the question provoked a range of reactions. Some responded with pointed criticism of Cuban’s own wealth, questioning his understanding of the everyday struggles many Americans face. One user replied, “Why do you care? You wouldn’t listen as to why. You aren’t curious. If you truly were, you’d already know how. He’s laid it out. You figure it out as you live in your million-dollar home and don’t have to worry about feeding your family. The rest of us already know.”
Others focused on the issue Cuban raised, offering their perspectives on how Trump could address inflation and high prices. “An easy place to start is stopping the out-of-control government spending and getting inflation under control,” another follower responded, echoing a common conservative critique of the current administration’s economic policies.
Donald Trump himself has repeatedly blamed the Biden-Harris administration for the rise in everyday expenses, including groceries. He has frequently pointed to inflation and supply chain issues as failures of the current leadership. Speaking at one of his rallies, Trump directly addressed the issue, saying, “Kamala Harris is a radical California liberal who broke the economy, broke the border, and broke the world.” His sharp criticism has resonated with many voters who believe the current economic challenges are a result of Democratic policies.
As the election looms, the battle for the presidency could come down to these types of bread-and-butter issues—questions about inflation, the economy, and the cost of living. Cuban’s critiques of Trump, especially regarding his handling of these matters, will likely continue as he remains an outspoken supporter of Kamala Harris.
If Trump wins the election, Cuban’s public remarks could be tested, but if Harris claims victory, Cuban may feel vindicated—and perhaps even take a moment to celebrate his side’s win.
