Stephen A. Smith, known for his role as a host on ESPN’s “First Take,” has sparked discussions about a potential presidential run in the 2028 election. Initially, Smith dismissed the idea of running for office, expressing a lack of interest in becoming president. Instead, he expressed a desire to participate in political debates, challenging candidates on their promises to the American public.
However, recent developments suggest Smith may be reconsidering his stance. On April 7, he posted on social media, indicating he was open to the possibility, citing frustration with the current political climate. Smith mentioned being approached by various political figures, including those from Capitol Hill, governors, and mayors, who have encouraged him to consider a political career.
