Stephen A. Smith also clarified that while he had long dreamed of debating with politicians, he didn’t want to become one himself, admitting that he is not qualified to do so.
“First of all, don’t even think about me being a politician. It ain’t gonna happen. I love my life. I love the life that I have. … The reality is that I’ve never in my life wanted to be a politician,” Smith said.
“I’ve had aspirations to debate politicians, particularly on the presidential stage during a debate or something like that, but that’s about it. It’s been comical to me that my name is in it ’cause I’m not qualified.”

Stephen A. Smith Declared Himself as “Independent”
Earlier in 2024, Stephen A. Smith went to great lengths to make his political stance clear to his audience. This came after he had been a vocal Democrat, and has since admitted that he voted for Trump.
“I just felt the need to say that because it’s important that people understand I’m gonna say it again: I am an independent,” he said, in one of the episodes of his online show, The Stephen A. Smith Show. “I am not a Democrat so I ain’t apologizing for anything anti anti-dem that I may say. Nor am I a Republican and I’m certainly not apologizing for that.”
“I have things that I am conservative about and I have things I am liberal about,” Stephen A. Smith added. “I am a staunch conservative when it comes to my money.”
