Stephen A. Smith considers 2028 presidential run amidst Trump criticism

Stephen A. Smith, the prominent ESPN personality, has recently addressed speculation about a potential presidential run in 2028. While he has consistently expressed disinterest in politics, a recent poll by former Trump pollster John McLaughlin showed Smith receiving two percent support in a hypothetical Democratic primary, outperforming some established politicians. Smith has hinted he might consider a run if he felt financially secure and if the American public expressed a strong desire for his candidacy. He criticized the current Democratic party, describing it as 'pathetic,' and expressed regret over supporting Kamala Harris in the last election. Despite his playful teasing about a political future, he maintains that he lacks the necessary knowledge to pursue such a role seriously. Nevertheless, he enjoys engaging in social commentary on political issues, asserting that he will continue to be a vocal presence in the political landscape.
