Dallas Mavericks longtime owner Mark Cuban may have been disappointed with the way that United States President Joe Biden performed in Thursday’s debate against Donald Trump, but it was not enough to convince him to change his vote.
In a post on social media on Friday morning, Mark Cuban was asked by political commentator Piers Morgan if he would consider changing his vote following the debate. But Cuban made it clear that he will still be voting for Joe Biden even despite the lackluster performance.
“His performance was awful. But so was Trump’s. Biden was feeble. Trump couldn’t directly answer a single question and lied with every response. The question is what features voters believe make a better POTUS : Feeble, Capable and Ethical vs Vigorous, Unethical and Incapable of telling the truth. I’ll vote ethical every time,” Cuban said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Cuban seemed to partially blame Biden’s poor performance on Trump’s lies throughout the debate.

“The reality is Joe wasn’t capable last night of debating someone who only lies. He doesn’t have the energy or ability to shout him down, hold him accountable and laugh at Trump’s responses. Joe could have held his own against a candidate that actually can discuss policy. But that wasn’t the challenge last night and Joe wasn’t prepared or capable of dealing with Donald and his style.”
While Cuban thinks that Biden performed poorly in the debate, he thinks that the past three years are proof that he’s a better candidate than Trump.
“That doesn’t make Biden’s performance any less awful. But, he answered the questions he was asked, even if the presentation was underwhelming. And we have the last 3 plus years and of his being POTUS with out his getting laughed or smirked at, no tell-alls or leaks discussing his incompetence. No former advisors or cabinet members saying they won’t vote for him. That gives me confidence that in the normal duties of the Presidency he can hold his own and do the job,” Cuban wrote.
It’s clear who he will be voting for.
