Stephen A. Smith made waves during his fiery appearance on ABC's "This Week," hinting at the idea of running for president in 2028 and criticizing both major political parties. The well-known ESPN personality, known for his candid commentary on First Take, expressed his growing disappointment with the current political landscape. He pointed out the lack of leadership and vision in the Democratic Party and accused Republicans of hypocrisy, particularly in their stance on constitutional matters like presidential term limits. While not actively campaigning, Smith revealed that he has been encouraged by various sources, including political insiders, billionaires, and even his pastor, to consider a potential presidential bid. Although he is presently focused on his media career, Smith acknowledged that he is open to the idea of entering politics if the need arises.
