Mark Cuban Reiterates Support for Biden: ‘Joe Has Got the Qualities That This Country Needs’
Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban is doubling down on his support for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as he believes he is the right candidate for the job.
Co-Host of “The View” Whoopi Goldberg asked Cuban what made him decide to endorse Biden, to begin with.
Cuban went on to list the qualifications he believes Biden holds making him the ideal candidate.
“I think Joe has got the qualities that this country needs right now. I mean he has humility, he has compassion, he believes in science, he’s had experience in government that leads him to want to bring in the best people as opposed to sycophants,” Cuban said.
He added, “There’s just qualities he has that I think will create a change that we truly need in this country.”

Cuban announced his official endorsement of Biden on June 24, as IJR previously reported.
During his appearance on Fox News, Cuban argued President Donald Trump is more interested in winning his political campaign than running the country.
Co-host of “The View” Meghan McCain went on to ask Cuban what made him decide not to run for president.
Cuban explained he took the advice from his family and decided against it.
“My family, plain and simple. I have three kids, 10, 13, and 16, and my wife obviously, and we took a family vote at the dinner table and I lost four to one,” Cuban said.
He added, “When you have kids that young and given just the nastiness of politics these days, I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it to them.”
Biden continues to gain momentum and garner support.
According to The New York Times/Siena College survey, Biden is gaining support in multiple key states where he previously lagged, as IJR previously reported.
