Cuban Has Resisted Presidential Run, but Says a Trump Third-Term Bid Could Draw Him Into the Race
Billionaire Mark Cuban has resisted calls to run for president, but recently said that any effort by President Donald Trump to seek a third term could drawn him into the race. What Happened: Cuban, who supported Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, has been speculated as a possible contender for the 2028 race. He said that his decision to run will be influenced by Trump's potential attempt at a third term. Speaking on a recent podcast, Cuban said, 'I'm not going to do it. I've said the only way I would do it is if Trump tried to run for a third term. Because then that's just changing everything, right? And that's a true threat.' Trump has previously hinted at Vice President JD Vance, as a possible successor, but has also flirted with the idea of a third term. In another interview in early August, Trump stated, 'I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, a record that they say won't be beaten unless I run again.' When probed about his plans to run again, Trump responded, 'No, probably not. Probably not.' Also Read: Mark Cuban Says His Children Struggle With the Downsides of His Wealth: 'Not That They Want To Be Poor, But It Sets An Expectation' Cuban also shared his apprehensions about subjecting his family to the strains of a presidential campaign, referring to the 'grief and abuse' that accompanies a run for president. 'But other than that, I'm not going to put my family through that, you know?' Cuban added. He further explained that with his three children, ages 15 to 21, he would rather avoid the "grief and criticism" that often comes with a presidential run. 'When I'm 95 and taking – or 105 and taking my last breaths, right? I don't want to say, 'Well, gee, I ran for president. Maybe won, maybe didn't,'' he continued. Why It Matters: The potential of a third-term run by Trump could significantly alter the political landscape, prompting Cuban to consider a presidential bid. Cuban's decision underscores the impact of Trump's political moves on potential candidates and the broader political discourse. The billionaire's reluctance to expose his family to the rigors of a campaign also highlights the personal sacrifices often required in the pursuit of public office.

JD Vance Gets Wrench Thrown in Cotswolds Vacation by Angry Pub Staff
Vice President JD Vance's quiet vacation to the English countryside is becoming a real disturbance. The vice president appears to be making no friends in the Cotswolds: Staff at The Bull in Charlbury reportedly told management that they would refuse to serve Vance if his family's reservation at the sixteenth-century pub was accepted, according to The Daily Beast. Meanwhile, other members of America's political class have breezed through the town without complaint. Vance's predecessor—Vice President Kamala Harris—was practically feted when she dined at The Bull mere weeks ago to celebrate Steve Jobs's daughter Eve ahead of her wedding. 'It's been the talk of the village—it's the most exciting thing that's happened here for a very long time,' one local told The Sun at the time. Vance, on the other hand, has been pissing his Cotswolds neighbors off since his arrival in the tranquil neighborhood. Earlier this week, police affiliated with the vice president's Secret Service were accused of going door-to-door to obtain residents' information. 'We have had the police knocking on every door. They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused,' an unidentified dog walker from the hamlet told The Observer. Vance's office and the local police have denied the claim, telling press that the only residents they interacted with were to ensure passage through a blockade for the vice president. '[We] are supporting the United States during the Vice President's visit to our area to ensure the safety of all involved,' a spokesperson for Thames Valley Police told the Daily Mail. 'A restricted access area has been put in place in a small part of Dean as part of our operation. We spoke to affected residents to ensure we are able to facilitate movement within the restricted access area. Residents were under no obligation to answer any questions and were not asked about social media.' Vance's presence has brought helicopters and SUVs to the quaint town. Villagers also expressed their malcontent with Vance after his expanded security detail overcrowded a local supermarket, blocking several handicapped parking spaces with his Secret Service entourage.

Bill Maher slams Democrats like Kamala Harris and the Clintons for being 'afraid' to come on his show
"Real Time" host Bill Maher called out Democrats like former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Clintons for being "afraid" to come onto his show while praising Republicans for coming on and taking "their beating like a man." The "Real Time" host said people ask him "all the time" why he doesn't have guests like Harris or Bill and Hillary Clinton on his program, but according to Maher, it's not for a lack of trying on his end. "You think we don't ask? We ask these people every week. They say no," he said. "It took eight years and a petition to get Obama on." Bill Maher Admits He Still Fears Getting Canceled Despite Cultural 'Vibe Shift' After Election Maher expressed confusion at the fact that Democratic politicians would be "afraid" to come on his show, considering that the late-night host is a longtime liberal who mostly votes for Democrats. "And these are people — all people I voted for. Think about that. They're afraid to come on the show of a guy who voted for them," he jeered. "The Republicans, they show up and when they do, they take their beating like a man." Read On The Fox News App The late-night host then played a montage of conservatives appearing on "Real Time" and getting into heated disagreements with him. Conservative guests included in the montage were former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, former Attorney General Bill Barr, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon. "Look, I would love to have AOC on the show and [Zohran] Mandani and Elizabeth Warren, but I can't subpoena the guests and I can't fix that," Maher asserted. "What the Democrats are scared of more than anything else. I mean, obviously, besides gluten, is being primaried from the far left, even though most Democrats are not far-left, they're mildmannered and moderate." He joked, "At least at my bath house." Click Here For The Latest Media And Culture News Although Maher was critical of Democrats who were too "afraid" to make an appearance on his show, there was one liberal politician who Maher praised for being brave enough to make an appearance. In the prior segment, Maher poked fun at California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his "perfect hair," but commended the fact that he's willing to come on his show. The last time Newsom was on "Real Time," Maher did not pull any punches during their time together, calling out the governor over the Golden State's many regulations — something he'd previously pressed Newsom on. The liberal host relayed how he personally felt the sting of big government. Maher kicked off the exchange in March by complaining to Newsom about how he needed to pay out-of-pocket for "two inspections" for upgrades on his roof following the devastating wildfires in the Pacific Palisades. "It's my roof!" Maher exclaimed. "If it falls on my head, that's my problem." "Why do I need two inspections, which I have to pay for? You were here last time. We talked about regulations. You said, 'Oh, it's a completely new day,'" Maher said and made a face at the governor. "You said you were working on it." Fox News' Joseph A.
