Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren would be too “far left” as a vice presidential nominee, saying he might vote for Donald Trump if Hillary Clinton picked her.

Appearing on the Fox Business show Varney & Co, Cuban was asked about Clinton potentially picking Warren and said: “Then there’s a good chance I vote for Donald Trump.”

“We need to be more center,” Cuban said. “I mean, this country needs solutions, right?”

“Elizabeth Warren has accomplished a lot in her life, but taking it that far left would be a huge mistake, any more than if Donald Trump went the other way,” he said. “We need to come center.”

Warren, who Senate minority leader Harry Reid is reportedly pushing for vice president, endorsed Clinton for president on Thursday. The argument for Warren is that she could help Clinton woo over some of the progressive supporters of rival Bernie Sanders.
