Billionaire Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban defended Kamala Harris’s decision to pick Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate, facing swift blowback from a top analyst at fund management titan VanEck.<\/p>\n
Cuban said in an Aug. 6 <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> on X that voters are tired of the “ideologues and hate from both parties” and want to vote for <\/span>“normal people they can relate to.” <\/span><\/p>\n “Walz can sit at the kitchen table and make you feel like you have known him forever,” he said.<\/p>\n Cuban<\/span><\/a> believes people who don’t agree with the Republican nominee’s vice president pick “are missing the lesson” of the Democratic Party’s switch to Harris. Harris “went from worst to first as people got to know her,” he said, speculating that the same thing might happen to Walz.<\/span><\/p>\n how can you say \"as people got to know her\" when she hasn't given an interview or press conference yet?<\/p>\n — matthew sigel, recovering CFA (@matthew_sigel) August 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
