Dan Abrams criticized ESPN host Stephen A. Smith for his recent comments about possibly running for president in 2028, which he deemed pompous and arrogant. During a segment on his show, Abrams played a clip of Smith stating he feels pressured to run due to encouragement from elected officials and influential individuals. While acknowledging Smith's appeal, Abrams expressed skepticism about the self-importance inherent in Smith's assertion of 'having no choice' to run, suggesting that many public figures face similar comments without feeling compelled to enter politics.
Abrams responded, 'He's saying he has no choice, no choice because elected officials are coming up to him...but there is something so pompous and self-important, arrogant about saying, Well you know, I may not have a choice.'
Abrams noted that many high-profile individuals receive encouragement to enter politics, and questioned why Smith feels uniquely pressured, saying, 'I mean, I'll bet you Mark Cuban and George Clooney... have people telling them all the time, Well you know, you really ought to run.'
