Stephen A. Smith, host of ESPN’s “first shot”, hit the Democratic party and suggested that “has no other option”, but to consider a race for president.
“I have no choice, because I have chosen officials, and I will not give their names, elected officials who approach me. I have had people who are experts who approach me. I have had people who have a lot of money, billionaire and others who have told me about the exploratory committees and things of that nature. Karl.
Smith reiterated that due to the number of people who ask him to consider a race, he has to leave the door open.
“Here is reality: people literally, people have approached me, including my own pastor, for crying out loud, who told me:” You don’t know what God has planned for you. At least show respect for people who believe in you, who respect you, who believe you can make a difference in this country, to leave the door open for any possibility of some years to the line. “And that is what I have decided to do.”

Smith arrived at the headlines earlier this week when he said he was leaving the door open to a race for president in 2028. The sports commentator and the presenter of his own program, “The Stephen A. Smith Show”, has become a vocal critic of the Democratic Party following his scanning losses in the elections last November, which turned out that the party was blocked from the power of power in the second mandate of Trump.
Here are more outstanding aspects of Smith’s interview:
Smith in what has seen Trump so far
Blacksmith: I don’t like what I am seeing, but I am not surprised. I mean, this whole situation of the tariff war is completely ridiculous. I mean, my attitude was that I should have immediately attacked China and not all the nations of the planet, for crying out loud, just throwing tariffs all. Finally, he marked it, as we saw in recent days, and the people on the right are in arms. Basically, I must say, I mean positively, essentially to say that this was the plan all the time. There does not seem to be a plan. Let’s be, let’s be very, very clear about that. It seems to be a bit very casual, and you know that it only throws itself against the wall to see what will stick. But in the end, you know, what you have to applaud them is to try something.
About how its president is considered an accusation of Democrats
Blacksmith: They speak and speak and speak. But what can they do? They position themselves to do absolutely anything. I didn’t hear anything about Democratic tariffs before the elections, Trump had been preaching about this for a long time. The way in which people denounce their strategy, he has been explaining about that. They said nothing about it. On the other hand, they spoke above all, from the alarm culture, the culture of cancellation, to the rights of abortion and all these other things. So that was not going to win the elections, and that is what we have to do. What is it? What will be needed to do the job? That is why someone who is a sports analyst, for crying out loud, is in the daggers in the surveys. Yes, it is not, it is not someone big in me. It is an accusation against a Democratic party that has no leadership. It does not have a vision.

Blacksmith: She is the governor of Michigan. She has no choice but to do that. And anyone who thinks that the opposite is just being silly, immature and childish. The fact is that she is the governor of a state in the United States of America. You must do business with the federal government. He is the president of the United States. You can’t avoid it. As a result, it must be an adult in the room and be prepared to do business. And anyone who encourages her to do otherwise is to be completely ridiculous.
