"During a discussion on NewsNation's Cuomo about whether Smith would run for president in 2028, O'Reilly said, I think he should run, and I'm being serious now, and Trump opened the door for you. You should send Trump a big bouquet of flowers. O'Reilly argued that while Smith would likely have no real shot at being elected president, he would be injecting himself into the debate, the national debate, and you're exposing the charlatans, which would be an amazing historical achievement."
"Smith responded, Bill, I don't play to lose. If I decide to run, it's because I intend to win. It ain't to make noise just to expose the charlatans, it's to win, and if I decide to do it, I'm telling you I intend to win. Make no mistake about it. I won't do it unless I believe I have a legitimate shot to win the presidency."
"For more than a year, Smith has repeatedly toyed with the idea of running for president as a Democrat in 2028, telling CBS last week that he was giving strong consideration to being on that debate stage. Along with O'Reilly, Smith has also received support for a 2028 presidential run from Bill Maher, who argued last year that Smith could be the outsider Democrats need to win."
Bill O'Reilly urged ESPN host Stephen A. Smith to run for president in 2028, saying former President Trump opened the door and such a campaign would be an amazing historical achievement. O'Reilly said a bid would inject Smith into the national debate and expose charlatans, and suggested Smith could return to his ESPN show if unsuccessful. Smith replied that he does not run to lose and would only enter the race if he believed he had a legitimate chance to win. O'Reilly offered to serve as vice president. Smith has long toyed with a 2028 Democratic run and has support from Bill Maher.
