Given the current political landscape in the United States, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone if any celebrity steps up to make a run for the Presidential Election in 2028. The Democratic party is seemingly in shambles, which has opened the door for someone to step up and make a run at the primary. Apparently, ESPN talking head Stephen A. Smith believes the door is wide open for him.
Smith has thrown his name in the ring despite saying he wouldn’t do it early on. He feels some momentum building behind his name, although it could all be a ruse just to get himself more viewers for his shows. Whether he’s serious or not, politics has seeped into his own show more than usual as a result. But he may be taking things a step too far, alienating his sports fans and bothering more with his recent guest.
Stephen A. Smith interviews Megyn Kelly in polarizing decision
Smith brought on Megyn Kelly to his “The Stephen A. Smith Show” this week. It’s safe to say that fans weren’t thrilled with the decision.
Kelly has had an enigmatic career. She has worked for ABC, Fox News and NBC throughout her career, with her most notable stint coming at Fox. She has made several unsavory comments that have led to backlash over the years, which has made her a divisive figure. She also brought on controversial conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to her show, despite the Sandy Hook situation.
She has practically alienated both left and right leaning Americans, operating as an Independent while leaning more right due to her hatred of “woke ideology”. She mentioned this year that she’s a conservative now. She voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and then appeared at one of his rallies during his 2024 campaign. She did that despite Trump bashing her in the past.
