CLAIM: Mark Cuban, a minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, asserts that Kamala Harris is ‘pro-business.’

TRUTH: In the same interview, Cuban warned that Harris’s tax plan could harm the stock market. He also implied that her public statements and private positions may differ.

Cuban’s claim that Harris is more “pro-business” than Trump is incorrect. Here are the facts:

  • In 2017, Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, benefiting both small and large businesses.
  • This legislation reduced taxes for nearly 80% of small businesses and allowed a 20% deduction on pass-through business income.
  • It expanded section 179 expensing, aiding long-term investment for small businesses.
  • Trump also significantly supported women-owned and minority-owned businesses, with the SBA increasing lending to women-owned businesses by $277 million and setting a record $9.58 billion in loans to minority-owned businesses.
  • Under Trump, small business optimism hit an 11-year high, with notable increases in job creation and compensation, as reported by the NFIB.
