ESPN broadcaster Stephen A. Smith isn’t ruling out the idea of eventually running for president of the United States.
Oh yes. Smith was asked on The View on Thursday the question that lots of influential pop culture personalities might start getting with Donald Trump’s election to a second term in office this week.
Would he actually consider running for president? Apparently so.
“If you came to me and you told me I had a legitimate shot to win the presidency of the United States of America, I would definitely consider it,” Smith said on the broadcast when asked about the possibility.
Smith’s recent appearances on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show and NewsNation hint he may have political aspirations in his future, or at the least feels very comfortable with airing his political opinions out in the open.
However, it’s not as certain he would actually find much success in a campaign since he said in the interview he would run as an independent due to his disdain for both sides of the aisle.
Like with everything in our political sphere, we’ll see what happens.
