Stephen A. Smith Talks Possible 2028 Presidential Run

Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith is once again making headlines, this time for discussing a possible run for president in 2028. During a recent interview on CBS This Morning, Smith said that if he runs, it would be as a Democrat. He made it clear that he has not made a final decision yet and plans to decide in early 2027.

Smith also shared his views on immigration and border policy. He said the borders needed to be closed and that former President Trump was right to close them, but only because President Biden had reopened them. Smith added that if Biden had followed former President Barack Obama’s approach, which included deporting more people during his first term than Trump did in his first term, he would not support strict border policies now.

His comments have sparked debate online. Some people support Smith’s honesty and willingness to speak on tough issues. Others question whether a sports commentator is ready for national political office.

Smith has built a large platform through sports media, but a presidential campaign would be a major shift. As 2028 approaches, voters will watch closely to see if he takes the leap into politics.
