Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban said he is "considering" running for president of the United States in a new podcast posted on Tuesday.
In an interview on former Democratic South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers' podcast ViewPoint, Cuban said he is an "independent all the way through" who tries to remain informed and objective on issues.
Sellers noted that Cuban supported Hillary Clinton during her campaign against President Donald Trump in 2016 and asked if he would help Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.
Cuban said he would "probably not" be on the trail during the midterms.
"Mark, are you considering running for president of the United States?" Sellers asked.
"Yes. Considering, yes," Cuban said. "Ready to commit to it, no."
Cuban said he would approach the question of running differently than others, saying if he felt he could come up with solutions on issues like tax reform that people could get behind, it would make "perfect sense" to run.
"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 said.
.@mcuban tells me he is "seriously considering" running for POTUS. New pod out now! https://t.co/ckOMQXoFHZ

Cuban remarked in 2015 that he could beat both Trump and Clinton if he decided to run in 2016, although he stayed out of the race.
Cuban owns the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and also serves as one of the rotating "shark" investors on the hit show "Shark Tank."
Yo Cuban....I’m considering a bowel movement.
Consider a new barber, dumbass...
Mark Cuban, the perpetual teenager, running for president? Wow. Obama really lowered the bar.
Mark C, spare yourself the futility and embarrassment and just send Jom Robinson’s Free Republic a check for 10 million dollars. It will be used so much more productively and will go a lot further in restoring the Republic.
Thanks in advance for your donation.
Hitlery will off you in 10...9...8...
Well that’s something I’m not considering.
Just what we need is one more Leftist dumb ass who has learned nothing from history.
Cool
Spend a lotta your own cash, jerk
Enjoy being poorer
LOL, he’s just trying to keep himself in the news because he’s really not so important as he thinks he is.
hey Mark Cuban I got a message for you.
The Simpsons did it first. and if you do run you can bet that your past is going to be looked at....(Glass House)
I’ll consider voting for this @$$hole after hell freezes over.
I need to take a dump..
“I’m considering not voting for your stupid ass...”
Consider all you want shithead. You don’t have a prayer in hells chance of replicating what President Trump did.
Try it. You will waste your money. Trump did it for a song he sang himself. Thanks for stopping by.
I’m not considering not voting for him. There’s absolutely no chance.
I like Shark Tank but can’t stand Cuban.
He ought to think again.
His business dealings have been a bit shady in the past.
Being a politician would bring all the skeletons out of the closet................
My words exactly! LOL!
Don’t count on my vote.
You’d think as a business person and parent, he would be conservative. He’s NOT.
ANYONE who voted and pitched Harpy is of questionable values, intelligence, morals and love of this great country.
He goes on to say if he could think up a good tax plan... Well he’s got 3 more years to try and use his noodle now doesn’t he?-)
