Today, there’s an interesting conversation featuring Kamala Harris and her notable campaign surrogate, Mark Cuban, set to air. The discussion is titled “Mark Cuban & Kamala Harris on the Economy, Trump, and the American Dream,” and Harris shared a brief 30-second teaser video on X (formerly Twitter) highlighting their dialogue about Donald Trump.
In her post, Harris emphasized Cuban’s insights as a successful entrepreneur, stating, “Donald Trump’s plan would be a disaster for entrepreneurs and small business owners.” The teaser showcases their chemistry, including a moment where Cuban seems to finish Harris’s thought, with her remarking, “I don’t think he pays attention to the details,” immediately followed by Cuban saying, “Unless you pay attention to the details.”
Where Is The Interview Taking Place?
This isn’t a live event but rather a pre-recorded conversation filmed in Wisconsin. Cuban also made an appearance at a Harris rally there on October 17.
This conversation follows a recent poll from Neapolitan News Service indicating Trump leads Harris by just one point in the state.
When Can You Watch It?
The premiere is scheduled for 6:00 PM EDT, after which it will likely be available for on-demand viewing.

Why This Event Matters
With voters showing heightened concern about economic issues this election cycle, Harris is looking to sharpen her messaging, particularly since she trails Trump in this area. Cuban’s backing can carry weight, especially among voters focused on business and economic policy.
Topics to Watch For
As hinted in the title, the conversation will delve into three main topics:
Entrepreneurship
Cuban has coined the election as a “battle for entrepreneurs” and commended Harris for her policies that support small business growth, such as her commitment not to raise taxes on those earning $400,000 or under and her initiatives to lower medication costs through pharmaceutical reforms.
The American Dream
Diving deeper, Harris has discussed her goal to provide student debt relief and to incentivize the creation of 3 million housing units in collaboration with private home builders by the end of her first term. She also plans to offer $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers.
Donald Trump’s Economic Agenda
Cuban has been vocal in his criticism of Trump’s economic strategies, labeling some of his tariff proposals as “insane.” The Trump Campaign has yet to respond to requests for comments outside of business hours.
