Businessman and television personality Mark Cuban said Thursday that Republican nominee Donald Trump never surrounds himself with “strong, intelligent women.”
Cuban told “The View” co-hosts that Trump distanced himself from former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley because he is “intimidated” by smart women. Haley criticized the former president’s campaign Tuesday for heavily appealing to men with their “bromance and masculinity” while using messages that do not appeal to women.
“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women ever,” Cuban said. “It’s just that simple, they’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them. And you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around, it wouldn’t work.”
Co-host Joy Behar then said former porn actress Stormy Daniels, who alleged that she and Trump had an affair in 2006, is “intelligent” and “very smart.”
WATCH:
Trump’s 2016 campaign had Kellyanne Conway as a senior adviser and Susie Wiles, who ran the campaign’s operations in Florida. Wiles is also a senior leader in the 2024 Trump campaign. During his administration, Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany each served as his press secretaries, while Haley served as an ambassador to the United Nations.
The election has a historically large gender gap, with Trump holding a large advantage among men while Vice President Kamala Harris is leading among women by large margins. The former president has earned historic support for a Republican nominee among young men who are black and Latino, while Harris’ lead among black men under the age of 60 largely lags behind President Joe Biden’s lead among the voter block in 2020.
Trump held a 53% to 37% advantage among men while Harris’ lead among women stood at 53% to 36%, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll from Oct. 21.
