‘I ain’t seen a Democrat that can beat him yet’: Stephen A. Smith names his 2028 president pick
Stephen A. Smith has become one of the most outspoken voices in sports media when it comes to politics, and he’s even teased a possible presidential run of his own. Ahead of Tuesday’s midterms, the ESPN star had a lot to say about where both parties are headed, and he’s already looking ahead to 2028.…
ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith has made a bold prediction about the 2028 presidential election, saying that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the "real deal" and his top choice to face the Democrats. In an episode of his Straight Shooter podcast, Smith urged Democrats not to pursue impeachment against President Donald Trump while they still hold the House.
Instead, he warned that they won't be able to win the presidency in 2028 unless they focus on governing for the American people. Smith believes that Rubio's bilingual abilities, intelligence, accomplishments, and knowledge of the issues make him a formidable opponent for the Democrats. He thinks Rubio's bilingual and articulate approach would be a tough matchup for Democrats, who are being held hostage by progressives and socialists on the left.
Smith even mentioned that Rubio's experience in government would give him an advantage over candidates like Ron DeSantis or JD Vance.
