Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is now reportedly making it clear he has no interest in revisiting past political alliances, bluntly dismissing the idea of supporting another presidential run by former Vice President Kamala Harris and declaring that “those days are gone.”
Cuban’s remarks came during a Tuesday interview with Alex Burns, a senior executive editor at Politico, where the conversation quickly turned from past elections to what Cuban says really matters now: fixing America’s healthcare system.
While Cuban previously backed Harris during the 2024 election cycle, he showed little interest in relitigating that support. When asked about Harris’s healthcare message at the time, Cuban dismissed the question outright.
“Don’t remember, don’t care, those days are gone. It doesn’t matter,” he said, signaling a sharp pivot away from campaign politics and toward policy concerns.
Pressed further, Cuban doubled down, rejecting the idea that revisiting past campaigns holds any value. “I don’t care,” he said. “There’s no reason to re-litigate that. It doesn’t matter.” Instead, he framed healthcare as a rare point of agreement across political divides. “Right now, Republicans need better healthcare, cheaper healthcare. Democrats need better, cheaper.”
Cuban’s focus on healthcare reform is not new. In 2022, he launched the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Company, an initiative aimed at lowering prescription drug prices by selling medications at cost with a 15 percent markup, along with fixed service and shipping fees. The effort reflects his broader push to challenge what he sees as inefficiencies and inflated costs within the system.
He has also supported bipartisan legislative efforts, including the Break Up Big Medicine Act introduced earlier this year by Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley. The proposal seeks to dismantle large healthcare conglomerates in an effort to reduce costs and address potential conflicts of interest.
Despite his policy engagement, Cuban appears uninterested in aligning himself with any particular political figure ahead of the 2028 election. A recent poll from Yale Polling suggested some Democrats view him as a more electable candidate than Harris, but Cuban brushed aside the notion of political positioning.
When asked directly whether he would like to see Harris run again, his answer was immediate: “No.”
Even as Burns attempted to reframe the question in a more forward-looking way, Cuban remained unmoved. “Doesn’t matter,” he said. “I don’t care at this point in time. Right now, we’ve got until 2028. I’m not trying to pick a candidate, I’m not trying to promote a candidate.”
Instead, he returned to his central concern—the state of healthcare in the United States. “I’m trying to change how f*cked up this healthcare industry is right now. That’s all I care about,” Cuban said, underscoring his belief that systemic reform should take priority over political maneuvering.
Looking ahead, Cuban suggested the political landscape itself may be due for a shake-up. Asked whether it was time for “someone new,” he responded, “There’s time for a lot of new sh*t right now.”
He also indicated a willingness to cross party lines, saying he would support a Republican candidate if it aligned with what he sees as the country’s best interests. At the same time, he distanced himself from strict party loyalty altogether. “I’m not an ideologue about parties,” Cuban said. “Get rid of both parties, I’m happier.”
For now, Cuban’s message is clear: less focus on past campaigns and political loyalties, and more attention on fixing a healthcare system he argues is failing Americans across the board.
