Mark Cuban, a minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Vice President Kamala Harris's surrogate during her presidential campaign, has been rumored to run for president in recent election cycles but never did.

Last week, on "The Steam Room," Ernie Johnson asked Cuban if having Charles Barkley on the ticket with him would motivate him to run for president.

The billionaire business mogul showed interest in the idea, and Barkley took it a step further.

The NBA Hall of Famer stated, "We'd definitely win."

In 2028, the Democrat party had an open field for presidential candidates after losing the presidential, House, and Senate elections. Gavin Newsom of California, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania were among the top contenders for the ticket.

""Yes, we would definitely win if we ran away with Barkley," Cuban confidently stated."

In the last days of the campaign, Cuban attacked Trump on "The View," claiming that Trump had never been seen around strong, intelligent women. He later admitted that his remarks were a mistake, following President Biden's description of Trump supporters as "garbage."

After winning the election, Trump received a congratulatory message from Cuban on X.

"Congratulations, @realDonald Trump. You won fairly and squarely," Cuban tweeted after Pennsylvania was called for the Republican nominee, leaving little hope for Harris.

Elon Musk received congratulations from Cuban, who added the hashtag #Godspeed.

If Harris did not win, Cuban stated that he would be willing to assist Trump.

If Trump wins again, I will help him on health care and PPE, just like I did before with Peter Navarro. We will focus on domestic production, and I will be America first.
