Mark Cuban will have a front-row seat to first presidential debate
Mark Cuban is getting ready to rumble.
The billionaire investor and Dallas Mavericks owner announced Thursday that he’ll be seated in the front row for the presidential debate Monday night, to be held at Hofstra University in New York.
Here’s Cuban’s tweet about it:
Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the "Humbling at Hofstra" on Monday. It Is On !

Throughout the presidential elections, Cuban has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, the GOP nominee and a fellow reality television star. Cuban has taken to heavily trolling the Republican candidate on Twitter, pushing Trump to release his tax returns and questioning whether Trump is really a billionaire:
If @realDonaldTrump were fractionally as rich as he says he is,he would write a$200mm check to propel his campaign. He doesn't have the cash

In August, Cuban gave his endorsement to Trump’s rival, Hillary Clinton, in a speech in his hometown of Pittsburgh.
And in his latest tweets, the “Shark Tank” investor pledged to donate $10 million to charity if Trump agreed to a four-hour policy interview with Cuban:
.1) @realDonaldTrump $10mm to the charity of YOUR choice if you let ME interview you for 4 hrs on YOUR policies and their substance.

Clinton campaign spokesperson Brian Fallon gave a shout-out to Cuban on the social media platform late Thursday about the debate seating arrangement:
If you have ever seen @mcuban courtside at a Mavs game, you know he'll be fired up for Monday's debate. #ImwithHer
