Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban isn’t saying whether he’ll jump into the race for the White House in 2020, but he doesn’t expect President Trump’s supporters to ditch the commander in chief.
“President Trump has a great following and they’re not going to turn on him,” Cuban told Fox News’ “Objectified” in an interview that aired Sunday.
Cuban, who initially supported Trump, said the president lost his backing because he wasn’t educated on the issues plaguing Americans.
“I was really concerned about a candidate becoming president that was not making the effort to learn the issues,” he said.
The 59-year-old Dallas Mavericks owner has been a frequent critic of Trump’s since the campaign. In recent months he was reportedly urged by former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon to launch a 2020 presidential run as a Democrat.
Cuban told “Objectified” that he’s fiercely independent but would run as Republican if he decides to enter the race in 2020.
