ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith clapped back at the team of Patrick Bet-David for criticizing him for being a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris in the previous elections.
In a recent episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” the sports and political analyst gave his take on the comments made about him in one episode of the PBD Podcast, particularly by Vincent Oshana.
“So, I’m of the mindset that anything I pull my put my mind to, I could pull off anything if I want it bad enough,” Smith said. “But you know the number one reason that I’m confident in myself, Vinnie, and I’m not speaking derogatorily towards you, my brother.”
“Don’t look at the book at its cover. So what if I didn’t vote for Trump? It doesn’t mean I ignored the good he could potentially do. I just had questions as to whether or not I believed he would do it, or would he be on a revenge tour, engaging in a kind of behavior that distracts him from doing the best job he could possibly do.”
“I was willing to vote for Kamala Harris because I believe there was a better chance of her working across the aisle if we ensured that the Republicans had the House and the Senate because she would have to deal with them and work with them in order to get things done.”
“So now Trump has an opportunity to show me that he ain’t going to lean far right that, he’s going to be somewhat of a centrist, just the way he was as a businessman when he was being a donut to a whole bunch of Democrats and rife with Democratic ideology sifting through his blood.”
“We don’t have to go to how liberal he was in certain ways. That’s why I voted for Kamala Harris.”
Will Stephen A. Smith Run for POTUS in 2028?
Stephen A. Smith has recently expressed interest in running for president in 2028, stating that he has been approached by elected officials, governors, and billionaires urging him to consider a campaign. While Smith initially dismissed the idea, he has since admitted that the overwhelming pressure has forced him to leave the door open for a potential run.
He emphasized that his lack of political experience could be an advantage, allowing him to challenge career politicians without being tied to past policies. However, despite his growing openness to the idea, Stephen A. Smith has not yet indicated whether he would run as a Democrat, Republican, or under a third-party banner.
