Stephen A. Smith, host of ESPN's First Take, is seriously contemplating a run for the presidency. In a recent interview, he indicated that influential people, including elected officials and even his pastor, have urged him to keep an open mind about a potential campaign. Although he is satisfied with his current ESPN position, Smith acknowledges that he might enter the fray if no better candidates arise. He remains critical of the Democratic Party and is open to debating various political issues in the future.
"Literally, people have walked up to me, including my own pastor... who has said to me, you don't know what God has planned for you."
"I would hope somebody else would step up that's more qualified than me, but if it has to come down to me, it is something I would consider."
