Appearing on CNN contributors and former Democratic South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers’ podcast, “ViewPoint,” Cuban was somewhat forthright about his political ambitions, saying, “Yes. Considering, yes. Ready to commit to it, no.”

“If I can come up with solutions that I think people can get behind and truly solve problems then it makes perfect sense for me to run,” he added. “If it comes down to, ‘Do I think I can win because I can convince more people to vote for me?’ Then no, I won’t run.”

Cuban has been an outspoken critic of President Trump. He was a vocal surrogate for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
