‘Off the Charts’ Energy? Video Captures Mark Cuban Asleep at Kamala Harris Rally After Bold Claims
Mark Cuban’s attempt to hype up Kamala Harris’s rally in Pittsburgh took a hilarious turn, as a video surfaced showing the billionaire appearing to nod off mid-rally—right after calling the energy “off the charts.” Cuban was stumping for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and discussing his stance on the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the border crisis.
Speaking with local business owners during a town hall, Cuban conceded that he might have acted “sooner” on immigration issues than the current administration, noting, “If they could do it all over again, they would handle it differently.” Still, he defended their approach, including the controversial “quiet amnesty” for nearly a million migrants over the past three years, though critics argue the administration’s recent push to speed up deportations is simply a tactic to bolster Harris’s image before Election Day.
However, Cuban’s enthusiasm for Harris’s “off the charts” energy at these rallies took a funny twist, as the video showed him looking anything but energized. With a drowsy expression that looked suspiciously close to dozing, Cuban’s “sleepy support” had viewers laughing across social media, where some quipped that the “energy flatlined” instead of being “off the charts.”

While Cuban claimed he’s convinced Harris is on track to win the election, saying he feels it “just by being at her rallies,” the footage suggests that the “energy” he experienced might not be quite as high-octane as he’d hoped. Watch the video below to see this ironic twist in Cuban’s rally experience.
