‘Shark Tank’ host and campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, Mark Cuban, appeared to shake off the Democratic nominee change multiple positions between her first and second attempts to become president.

“What did you think of Harris when she first ran for president in 2019?” ABC host Jon Karl asked Cuban Sunday Morning on “This Week.”

“But she represented the state of California,” Cuban noted. “The People’s Republic of California, right? If you have a far-left state, you know, you’re going to do what those – your citizens want. If you represent the United States of America, it’s a much broader and… “

“She took those positions when she first ran for president,” Karl noted.

“I understand that, but here we are now. That wasn’t a long run, and I think she learned the hard way that certain things…” Cuban responded.

Karl asked, “Do you think she believed that, or did she do it to escape?”

“I think she certainly believed it, but she needs to speak up about those things. What I like about her is that she constantly says she’s open-minded, and she’s proven that,” Cuban said.

He added: “I have changed many of my views over the past five years. Donald Trump has changed his. I think a lot of reasonable people have changed theirs, and to, you know, say this was your position for Medicare. to everyone, this was your position on whatever it may be, and to be shocked that someone changed their mind is a bigger shock that someone is shocked.

Cuban acknowledged that Harris has had difficulty explaining her positions and why she has changed her mind on certain issues like the border.

‘There are two elements. She’s only been running for thirteen weeks, and when she started running, when she replaced Joe Biden, she had a deficit of awareness, you know. Even Donald Trump would say, “I don’t even know. who Harris is. Do you know who Harris is?’ And she had negative favors, so she had to spend the last 13 weeks getting people to know her and show her that she’s vibrant, smart and open-minded, Cuban said. .

Cuban made similar comments when he appeared on “The Brian Kilmeade Show“Friday.

“But when you represent the People’s Republic of California, that’s a very different job than being president of the United States and representing all Americans. And she has certainly evolved in her positions,” Cuban said.
