Sports blogger Stephen A. Smith pushed up against the idea of seeking the , White House , in 2028, citing , other pursuits and” a lot of things” he is pursuing otherwise.
Debate over Smith running for president in 2028 has grown as the Trump administration nears its second 100 time in business. Smith said Sunday that he has” no choice” but to leave the door open to the possibility. But, on Tuesday, he pumped the brakes on this idea.
Smith said discussions about his probable run for office have “only gotten severe” to the point where people are encouraging him to “leave the door available”. He reiterated that he is “very, very happy” with his current job on ESPN and that there is” no reason” for him to work as a politician.
But, he said the political scenery for the Democratic Party is “very, very awful” and that “you’re only praying” the group may consider a member who can effectively counter President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. He said he knows of people in the Democrat Party” who are very brilliant”, but “people are not resonating on a national level”.
” And because it’s a low, you’re eager for somebody to step up and take the bull by the whistle, but God forbid something like me doesn’t include to”, Smith said.

The Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito said Smith’s no giving a definite truth on his probable 2028 work mirrored Trump’s dissatisfaction with the Republican Party, which led him to reveal his charge for the White House in 2015. She also said Smith is likely “hinting at” how the Democratic Party’s current strategy is” not working” in gaining supporters.
While a definitive name for the Democratic Party’s next presidential candidate has not emerged since 2024, commentator Tucker Carlson and former Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said Vice President JD Vance is the likely successor to Trump and his agenda in 2028.
