Should Stephen A. Smith ultimately become a presidential candidate in 2028, analyst and critic Jason Whitlock would prefer to come back to being a “non-voter.”
In one of the recent episodes of his program “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock gave his honest answer to the question of whether he would vote for Stephen A. Smith or not, should the ESPN analyst push through with his potential candidacy.
I’ve only voted once in my life, and that was this past election cycle, and I will gladly return to a nonvoter,” Whitlock said. “I would gladly return to [being] a nonvoter. These guys don’t believe in anything.”
“One guy is pro-abortion but has figured out, well hey, now I’m a conservative. Don’t let me talk about that. The other guy, Stephen A. Smith, has a fake background and narrative. These guys don’t stand for anything. And I know that’s upsetting [for] some of you in the audience, and you think it’s personal, but it’s not.”
“I’m just calling strikes and balls having known both of them,” he added. “You know, they’re not standing on much substance and they’re certainly not standing firmly on any substance. So, I [would] just go back to not voting because they both have puppet strings on them.”
Stephen A. Smith has “No Choice” But to Run for President
In a recent interview with ABC News, Stephen A. Smith opened up about what drives him in declaring his interest in running for president in the 2028 elections. According to the sports analyst and broadcaster, he simply has “no choice” but to do so, with the number of people calling him for it.
“I have no choice, because I’ve had elected officials, and I’m not going to give their names, elected officials coming up to me,” Smith said. “I’ve had folks who are pundits come up to me. I’ve had folks that got a lot of money, billionaires and others that have talked to me about exploratory committees and things of that nature. I’m not a politician. I’ve never had a desire to be a politician.”
“Here’s the reality: People, literally people, have walked up to me, including my own pastor, for crying out loud, who has said to me, ‘You don’t know what God has planned for you,” he added. “At least show the respect to the people who believe in you, who respect you, who believe that you can make a difference in this country, to leave the door open for any possibilities some to three years down the line.’ And that’s what I’ve decided to do.”
Stephen A. Smith has reiterated in the past that he is neither of the Democratic nor the Republican party but rather, he remains to be politically “independent.”
