The entrepreneur and reality TV panelist complimented Walz in a social media post Tuesday for his relatability as Silicon Valley bigwigs draw lines in the sand over the November election.
“People are tired of the ideologues and hate from both parties. They want to vote for normal people they can relate to. Walz can sit at the kitchen table and make you feel like you have [known] him forever,” he wrote online Tuesday morning.
Cuban downplayed Walz’s lack of celebrity, drawing comparisons to Harris as her star rose in recent weeks within the Democratic party.
Other big names in tech have recently gotten behind the Harris ticket.
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and more than 100 venture capitalists backed Harris in late July as reports swirled that former President Trump was making progress wooing Silicon Valley investors.
Trump has secured the loyalties of several major figures and former Democratic donors in the tech world, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, venture capitalist Shaun Maguire and tech adviser Jacob Helberg.
