Stephen A. Smith believes that he has become a surprising presidential candidate in recent months because the Democratic party currently does not have “real national voice.”
The host of ESPN has been flirting with the possibility of running for president after a national survey revealed last month that would receive more support than several high -profile Democratic candidates in the 2028 elections.
In an exclusive interview with Dailymail.com shortly after the survey was published, Smith left the door open for a potential career in three years if the American people ask, despite emphasizing that he does not have a personal desire to do so.
And during an appearance in The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he discussed the idea of a presidential offer once again.
When Fallon asked him why he has emerged as a candidate for the Democrats, Smith says in a teaser clip of the Thursday edition of the night interview program: 'People are crazy, number one. Number two, the Democratic Party … lost. They had a bad months, we all know.
'And although there are many qualified Democrats throughout the country from a local perspective, governors, mayors, things like this … there is no real national voice. And Moi … They have come to me.

While it has distanced itself on multiple occasions in recent times, Smith admits that he is monitoring his growing popularity among Democratic voters while weighing the possibility of a presidential career in 2028.
'I didn't ask for this. I don't want this. I have a very, very, very good life, very good job … I'm fine. Very good, 'the sports personality continued.
'They even put me in the man of the surveys, I think the number is like 7.6 percent. I look at these things.
“And I say:” Wait a minute now. I don't want to do this, but the fact that they are talking about me in this way must say … I approve this message. “
Smith went to Fallon's Tonight Show a few days after appearing in the view with people like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.
During a heated exchange with the members of the panel, the host of 'First Take' pointed to the Democrats who try to affirm that President Donald Trump did not win a 'mandate', despite defeating Kamala Harris in last year's elections.
He also warned to the left not to look at the little gap in the participation of votes and believe that they are close to having a winning strategy.
'I want someone to take a step forward and recognize: that man in the oval office, or not, is powerful, comes and wins. You have to find a way to overcome it. In this way it is not the way, '' he said.
Smith recently criticized the Democrats who claim that Donald Trump did not win a “mandate”
'The problem is whether you are the Democratic Party and lost 49.8 percent to 48.3 percent and you are seeing that difference of 1.5 percent.
“That is an excuse for you to say:” What we did really was not so bad. We should continue doing it. “No, find a new strategy.
Smith insisted that he is not “Trump supporter” and is not a fan of the president's leadership since he returned to office.
In particular, Smith “did not like what (he) saw” when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House and had an exchanging with Trump and JD Vance.
The ESPN star admitted that it is possible that some groups, such as black and Latin voters, repent to vote for the 78 -year -old man.
'But in the end, what is reduced is this: the American people, in their eyes it was not about it. They voted against what the Democrats were launching in their direction.
