On Tuesday, it was announced that Donald Trump would become the 47th president of the United States. Of course, the election has captivated even the sports world, including Stephen A. Smith.
Recently, he appeared on “The View” and was asked whether he would ever consider running for president.
His answer was rather surprising: “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.”
“I wish I could debate some of these guys. I’d love to be on the debate stage going up against these guys with the presidency on the line,” he continued.

Of course, though, Smith does not have a huge political background, so the possibility seems almost nonexistent. However, the same was said about Trump going into the 2016 election until he ultimately won.
If Smith did decide to take the leap into politics, just solely based on how passionate he gets when debating a topic he truly cares about, it would be very entertaining.
Of course, he already has a huge media following and many fans that would certainly show support if he did.

However, even if he received a lot of support, he would undoubtedly be met with backlash.
Many social media users think it would be a bad idea based on the comments section of the clip above.

Smith would certainly bring a whole new perspective to the presidential election.
