Speculation about ESPN\u2019s Stephen A. Smith potentially running for President of the United States continues to pick up steam.<\/p>\n
In the past, Stephen A. Smith has expressed interest in running for President of the United States. As we saw with Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, a high-profile celebrity can become the POTUS if they run the right campaign.<\/p>\n
As the United States constitution limits each president to two terms, Trump won\u2019t be eligible to run again in 2028. A new president will be crowned in the next election, and Smith is quickly emerging as one of the odds-on favorites to represent the Democratic Party in 2028.<\/p>\n
Per Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, American prediction market Kalshi gives Stephen A. Smith the fourth-best odds (an implied chance of 7.26 percent)\u00a0of being the Democrat nominee<\/a>\u00a0for the 2028 presidential election:<\/p>\n \u201cSmith has the same price as Pete Buttigieg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Gretchen Whitmer. Only Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Wes Moore have shorter odds. Smith has better odds than J.B. Pritzker, Andy Beshear, Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Raphael Warnock, John Fetterman, and Mark Cuban.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Stephen A.
