Mr. Cuban said he supported Ms. Harris because of the future of our children, and cited the need to address climate change as one of his concerns. Later in the interview, he took aim at Trump.
“I believe the character has a destiny. What I’m looking at is how he’s done business with people,” Cuban said. “As an entrepreneur, I know what he’s been doing,” he said, adding, “He tightened up the number of contractors.”
Cuban specifically cited testimony from longtime Trump president Michael Cohen in the New York hush-money trial, in which he said the former president would short-sell money to traders.
