“What they found out is I’d take some votes away from Donald Trump, particularly with independents,” Cuban said. “In a three-way between me, Biden and Trump, I dominated the independent vote — I got like 77 percent percent of it and was able to take some votes away from Donald and some votes away from Biden. But in aggregate, I was only able to get up to 25 percent. From every which way, crosstab, you name it, I had it analyzed and scrutinized every which way, projected, and they could only see me getting up to 25 percent. That’s why I didn’t pursue it further.”

Joe Biden cites Russell Westbrook as example of American character

In quote tweeting Westbrook’s charity donation, the former U.S. vice president said the character of American people is on full display.

Earlier this week, Houston Rockets star and Los Angeles native Russell Westbrook made a donation to the City of Los Angeles Angeleno Fund, organized by the city’s mayor to help needy families through the financial hardship of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

On Wednesday, Westbrook was recognized for his efforts by former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who is currently the 2020 frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

On his Twitter account, Biden quote tweeted Westbrook’s video announcement with the following message:

The character of the American people is on full display across the country. In the middle of a crisis, folks are stepping up and doing what they can to help out those in need.

“Too many Angelenos need our help, now more than ever,” Westbrook wrote in an Instagram message accompanying his video.

“Visit mayorsfundla.org/Angeleno to help families experiencing extreme financial hardship during this pandemic,” Westbrook added. “Many of those in need are immigrants or independent workers who are ineligible for other benefits. We’re all in this together.”
