Stephen A. Smith, co-host of ESPN's First Take, criticized the Democratic Party's leadership during an appearance on The View, asserting he could defeat any potential candidate for the 2028 presidential election. He connected his polling prominence to a perceived leadership void within the Democrats, which resulted from significant losses to Republicans. While Smith emphasized he has no intention of running, he pointed out the success of political outsiders like Donald Trump as a model. He criticized Democrats for overlooking crucial issues like inflation and the southern border, attributing Trump's wins to voter discontent more than support for his policies.
I make of it that citizens, particularly on the left, are desperate and I mean it when I say it: I think I can beat them all. And I have no desire whatsoever to run for office.
This is not something that [Trump] is known to do. Yet and still he has owned the Republican party since 2015, not only has he won, but the Republican's constituency has said we don't want anybody else but him.
Smith blasted Democrats for not focusing enough on issues like inflation and the southern border during the 2024 presidential election.
Smith argued Trump’s win has far more to do with voters rejecting Democrats than supporting the actual man.
