Billionaire Mark Cuban has faced heavy criticism for his backing of Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz.

However, VanEck’s head of digital assets research, Matthew Sigel, questioned the endorsement, sparking a heated debate on social media.

Mark Cuban defended Kamala Harris’s pick of Tim Walz as her running mate, citing her own transformation from an unpopular candidate to a front-runner as people learned more about her. In a recent X post, he predicts a similar shift in public perception could benefit the democratic VP candidate.
Besides, he added that voters seek down-to-earth leaders with whom they can connect or who share their values, rather than embracing extreme ideologies. The endorsement from Mark Cuban highlighted his belief that <a href="https://coingape.com/kamala-harris-taps-tim-walz-as-us-vice-president-candidate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Walz</a> possesses an “incredible skill” in making people feel comfortable and understood.
Meanwhile, he believes this trait is crucial in today’s political climate, where voters crave authenticity and relatability. His support for Harris and Walz underscores his confidence in their ability to appeal to a broad electorate.

VanEck’s head of digital assets research, Matthew Sigel, responded to Mark Cuban’s recent endorsement. Commenting on the post, he questioned the validity of his claims that people have gotten to know Kamala Harris.
Notably, he pointed out that the Democratic Presidential candidate has not held any interview or press conference since being named as the candidate. Sigel’s comment, “How can you say ‘as people got to know her’ when she hasn’t given an interview or press conference yet?” drew significant attention and debate.
However, a user responded to Sigel’s criticism by defending Harris. The user said that it has only been two weeks since the announcement of her candidature and that she has been busy assessing potential VP candidates.
In addition, the user also highlighted Harris’s extensive experience as a senator and her reputation for being a strong, no-nonsense leader. “It’s not like we don’t know who Kamala is. She’s been a senator long before she was VP. We’ve all seen her take down people in senate hearings,” the user argued.
In reply, Sigel doubled down on his criticism, describing Harris as the “most liberal Senator out of 100” and accusing her of promoting divisive, “woke” policies that he believes have negatively impacted San Francisco. In addition, a flurry of <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> market watchers on social media platforms has also voiced against Mark Cuban for backing Tim Walz.
