Well, that’s a take.
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith said Sunday that he might not have a choice but to run for president in 2028 if the Democrats fail to produce someone better.
The ESPN “First Take” host claimed that he’s been inundated with requests to contemplate a presidential run that he has to leave that option on the table.
“I have no choice because I’ve had elected officials, and I’m not going to give their names, elected officials coming up to me,” Smith told ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday.
“I’ve had folks that got a lot of money, billionaires and others that have talked to me about exploratory committees and things of that nature,” he added. “I’m not a politician. I’ve never had a desire to be a politician.”
Smith gained national prominence for his fiery hot takes on sports but, over recent years, has frequently waded into politics, criticizing President Trump and Democrats for losing to him.
Despite flirting with a 2028 bid, Smith admitted that he would like to see someone with the necessary experience step up.
