Stephen A. Smith Doubles Down On Potential 2028 Presidential Bid: 'Do I Believe I Could Win? You're Damn Right'
HuffPost
The sports analyst, who has been supported by Trump, explained why he thinks he could win in the current “state of our politics."
After President Donald Trump recently praised Stephen A. Smith’s possible 2028 run for president, Smith confidently doubled down on his interest in potentially taking on the White House.
While appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, host Jake Tapper asked the sportscaster what he would say to critics who point out he has “no political experience” needed for the role.
“Are you really prepared to be president of the United States?” Tapper questioned Smith.
“I would say that they’re absolutely right. I’m not prepared, I’m not qualified. I have no political history whatsoever. I’ve never been interested in politics a day in my life,” the ESPN sports analyst replied before adding, “You never know what God has planned for you.”
Despite admitting to not being qualified, Smith said people are itching for him to use his voice to serve, telling Tapper that he’s been approached by elected officials and others who’ve asked him to seriously consider running as a 2028 contender.
