Mark Cuban says he will vote for Joe Biden even if the president 'was being given last rites'

Mark Cuban says he'll vote for Joe Biden — even if the president's on his deathbed.
Cuban told BI that he expects a rematch between Biden and Donald Trump in November.
He said he'll be voting for Nikki Haley on Super Tuesday as a "protest vote against Trump."
Mark Cuban says he's determined to cast his vote for President Joe Biden this November — even if Biden's on his deathbed.
"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 on Monday.
Cuban told BI via email that he fully expects a predictable rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump this November.
"That's what the polls say. There is no reason to expect otherwise," Cuban told BI.
Cuban's distaste for Trump dates back years. In 2016, Cuban said he had a "love-hate relationship" with Trump.
"There's that guy who'll walk into the bar and say anything to get laid," Cuban said of Trump in an interview with Anthony Scaramucci at the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference in 2016.
In November 2020, Cuban said that he didn't think Biden and Trump "were the best and brightest" presidential candidates the US has to offer.
Cuban told Bloomberg that he will be voting for former UN ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary on Super Tuesday , calling it a "protest vote against Trump."
On Sunday, Haley managed to win her first GOP primary in Washington, DC . The victory, however, will provide Haley with little relief, given that she is trailing far behind Trump in terms of delegate count.
Haley has won 43 delegates, nearly six times less than Trump's 244 delegates . Candidates need to secure 1,215 delegates in order to lock down the GOP presidential nomination.
Trump and Haley will face off again on Super Tuesday, with 15 state primaries slated to take place on March 5.
