Mark Cuban says he seriously considered running for President this year — but his family ultimately shut it down.
The Dallas Mavericks owner has been talking about a possible 2020 presidential run for years — and in 2017 told “OBJECTified” he’d run as a Republican to challenge Donald Trump.
But a Cuban Campaign never came to fruition and Thursday in NYC, he explained why.
“My family voted it down,” Cuban said … “I would have done it if they said yes.”
The 61-year-old billionaire isn’t closing the door on a political career somewhere down the line — “You never say never” — but for now, he ain’t ready to throw his hat in the ring.
Cuban had supported Trump early on in the last race but soured on him — Cuban felt he wasn’t serious about understanding important issues. He later threw his support behind Hillary Clinton.
