The minority leader of the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, admits that there is “much to like” about Stephen A. Smith in the middle of the conversation of the ESPN host that is postulated for president in 2028.
A recent survey revealed that Smith, which has become ESPN's face in the last decade, would receive more support than a series of renowned democratic presidential applicants when the next elections arrive.
And during an exclusive interview with Dailymail.com last week, he hinted at a possible presidential offer in three years after stressing his belief that “he would defeat all candidates in that survey.”
“If they told me that I had a legitimate shot and in good faith to win the presidency of the United States of America, it would intertece it,” said Smith.
'Because the part that I am not joking is that I think I could overcome all the candidates in that survey. Each candidate they mentioned, from Kamala Harris to (Pete) Buttigieg and Tim Walz. I would hit them all. I believe that. I really do it.
And as it demands that Smith consider running the rhythm of continuing to gather, the main Jeffries Democrats were interrogated with the perspective that the emerging sports analyst as a serious candidate by 2028.

First he emphasized that the next election is “very far” and not a current priority before adding: “There is much to like Stephen A. Smith.”
Smith has not shunned to deliver the daring policies after the emphatic victory of Donald Trump over Kamala Harris in the surveys last November.
As a result of its shots, the personality of the media has generated a lot of support for a possible presidential offer.
He recently surprised Bill Maher's audience with his blunt verdict on why Trump won a second mandate in the White House, and admitted why he feels like a “damn fool” for supporting Harris.
Although he has performed his perspective, Smith also left the door open for a possible presidential career when he spoke with Dailymail.com in the week of the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
The 57 -year -old man said: “You know, instead of talking that I is an elected official or a corridor for the president of the United States, what if I am someone with a voice as strong as Sean Hannity, so strong?
Because that is more plausible. However, I will confess, as I said, I don't feel like doing this, but assuming that I'm fine, I have a lot of money, and money is no longer a concern if the American people came to me and looked at me and said “I, man , we want you to postulate for a position “, and I had a legitimate opportunity to win the presidency of the United States, I will not lie. I will think about that.
But I have to have my money. I will not go to the White House that broke. I'm not going to do that. I have to have my money. I have to have my home. I have to have my financial situation completely. I have no concerns if that happens to me.
Smith told Dailymail.com that he would potentially consider running for president
Smith's comments occurred after John McLaughlin, who was Trump's main pollster, celebrated a national survey of 1,000 general electoral voters last month.
Among the questions he asked was: “Think of the 2028 Democratic elections for the president, if those elections were held today among the following candidates, who would he vote for?”
Two percent said they would choose Smith. That is more than people like Beto O'Rourke, who ran for the nomination in 2020, and JB Pritzker, the governor of Illinois (both one percent).
Surprisingly, Smith surveyed only one percentage point behind Tim Walz, the Harris vice presidential team, and the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro.
Harris was overwhelmingly option 1, with a third of voters (33 percent) saying that they would vice president, despite his defeat by Trump in November.
