Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban posed the question to X followers on Friday night in the now-unbalanced vote.
“Which personality and character do you want your children to grow up to have?” Cuban wrote in a two-way poll with options of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
When the polls closed, there were 804,173 total votes, with Trump winning with 68.9% and Harris winning with just 31.1%.
The poll prompted responses from several prominent political commentators and influencers on the platform. Valentina Gomez, a former Republican candidate for Missouri secretary of state who was defeated earlier this month, was one of many right-wing voices criticizing Harris's office record.
Cuban has been a vocal opponent of Trump since he first ran for president, but the billionaire sports mogul has supported the president in the past.
Cuban said he supported the former president when Trump first began his presidential campaign in 2015.
Cuban detailed how he initially supported Trump in an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy on X on August 7.
“In 2015, I thought, 'He's great. He's not your typical Stepford candidate. And I thought that was a positive thing,'” Cuban said.
“A big reason for that was because I didn't think he had a chance. I wanted to undermine traditional politics, and I don't like that.”
The “Shark Tank” host even said in a July 2015 interview with Business Insider that he would consider being President Trump's running mate in the 2016 election.
“Whatever his actual position is, it doesn't matter to me,” Cuban wrote about Trump in a July 2015 post for his social media app project, Cyberdust.
“I don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what he thinks. He gives honest answers, not prepared answers. That's more important than any candidate has done in years.”
Earlier this year, when Joe Biden was still the presumptive Democratic nominee, Cuban went so far as to say he would vote for Biden over Trump even if Biden was “receiving his last rites.”
“If they hold his final wake and it's him versus Trump and he's given his final rites, I'd still vote for Joe Biden,” Cuban told Bloomberg News in March.
Cuban has been quick to voice his support for Harris since she became the presumptive nominee.
He defended Harris' proposed economic policies in an August 16 X thread and accused Trump of copying her policies when she declared that a presidency would be “great for women's reproductive rights.”
“And now he's copying @KamalaHQ's policies. What the hell is going on?” Cuban wrote to X on Aug. 24.
