In an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman printed Friday, Cuban mentioned one cause he would vote for Joe Biden over Trump is that Biden has been in a position to preserve most of his employees. Fridman requested Cuban why he believes “Biden would make a greater president than Trump.”
“Should you have a look at the folks he is employed, there hasn’t been any turnover in his cupboard — in any respect,” Cuban mentioned. “Should you have a look at the folks he is employed over the course of his profession, or whereas he was Vice President particularly, there’s no person who’s turned on him and got here out and written books and printed statements about how he is unhealthy for the nation.”
“Now evaluate that to Trump. The folks closest to him — virtually all of them turned except there is a monetary relationship concerned,” he added. “To me, that claims the whole lot.”
Cuban is not totally correct to say there hasn’t been any turnover in Biden’s cupboard. Over the course of the Biden Administration, two cupboard officers left their posts: Marcia L. Fudge, the Housing and City Growth Secretary, and Marty Walsh, the Labor Secretary.
Nonetheless, these numbers mirror a comparatively secure presidency — particularly, as Cuban famous, when evaluating the turnover charge to Trump’s White Home.
A research from the Brookings Establishment confirmed that by the primary 12 months of his presidency, Trump broke a document for first-year turnover charges, with 34% of senior officers resigning, being fired, or reassigned. In response to the research, that was the very best first-year turnover charge for any presidency in a minimum of 4 a long time.
By the tip of his administration, the Trump White Home noticed a 92% turnover charge throughout his time in workplace.
Biden’s first-year turnover charge was 8%. To date, his complete charge is at 71% — which is identical charge because the Obama Administration and 5 % larger than the George H.W. Bush Administration, in response to Brookings.
Cuban advised Enterprise Insider in an electronic mail that the position of the presidency might be considerably in comparison with that of a CEO.
“Completely different mission, clearly, but it surely’s one which requires management and administration expertise,” he wrote. “A frontrunner talks about we, a poor CEO talks about me.”
Cuban certified his assist for Biden by including that the present administration has made many errors, pointing to Biden’s dealing with of immigration as one instance.
Nonetheless, Cuban advised BI he would not consider Trump has a greater resolution.
“The best way immigration has been dealt with might be a deadly mistake from a voter perspective. Hopefully, the administration shall be extra aggressive in arising with options,” he wrote. “That mentioned, the Republican nominee has not given specifics past ‘deport everybody,’ which I do not suppose is an actual resolution.”
A Trump spokesperson didn’t reply to a request for remark.
