Mark Cuban, the minority stake owner of the Dallas Mavericks, reaffirmed his political support for President Joe Biden and vocal opposition to former President Donald Trump.
In an interview with Bloomberg News that published Monday, Cuban went as far as saying that he would vote for Biden even if Biden was on his death bed.
“If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden,” Cuban told Bloomberg.
The ages of Biden and Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican party, has become a topic of intense debate as the U.S. gears up for the election in November. Biden, 81, is already the oldest sitting President in U.S. history. In fact, at the start each of their respective terms, Both Biden and Trump set the record for the oldest elected president.
Cuban has been a continuous vocal critic of Trump's over the years. He told Bloomberg he planned to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary on Tuesday in a “a protest vote against Trump,” but that he would still support Biden's reelection over Trump's bid.

Texas is holding its primary on Super Tuesday, the day when more than a dozen states hold their primaries and caucuses.
Cuban has not shied away from using his platform and reach to express his political opinions. He had floated the idea of running for President in 2020 — even hiring a pollster to gauge his prospects — before eventually reconsidering. He also declined to make a bid later for the 2024 race.
