ESPN host Stephen A. Smith just delivered a crushing blow to the Democratic Party that has liberals scrambling for cover. The sports commentator admitted he has no choice but to consider running for president in 2028 because so many people are begging him to save the party. Even elected officials and billionaires are approaching him about forming exploratory committees.
This is what happens when a political party completely loses its way and abandons everyday Americans. Smith slammed Democrats for getting obsessed with woke culture and cancel culture instead of focusing on real problems. He said they ignored kitchen table issues like the economy, immigration, and crime while chasing radical leftist ideas about justice.
The fact that people are turning to a sports host shows just how badly Democrats have failed their own voters. Smith called it an indictment of a party that has no leadership and no vision for America. When your own supporters would rather have someone from ESPN than your current crop of politicians, you know you are in serious trouble.
Smith has been hammering the Democratic Party ever since Kamala Harris got crushed by President Trump in the 2024 election. He sees exactly what millions of Americans see – a party that cares more about pronouns than paychecks. The Democrats swapped out helping working families for pushing dangerous woke ideology that most Americans reject.
Even Smith’s own pastor is telling him that God might have bigger plans for his life than just talking about sports. That should terrify every Democrat politician who thought they could keep ignoring the concerns of regular people. When pastors are encouraging media personalities to consider politics, it means the current leadership has completely lost touch.
The most telling part is that Smith says all politicians disgust him, both left and right. But he is still willing to fight because someone needs to stand up for common sense. This is exactly the kind of outsider thinking that helped Trump win twice and drain the swamp in Washington.
Democrats created this mess by embracing radical activists instead of listening to hardworking Americans who just want safe streets and good jobs. They pushed identity politics so hard that they forgot about the issues that actually matter to families trying to pay their bills. Now they are paying the price for years of putting woke politics over real solutions.
Whether Smith actually runs or not, his criticism proves that even people in liberal media are fed up with what the Democratic Party has become. Americans want leaders who will fight for them, not lecture them about political correctness. The Democrats better wake up fast or they will keep losing elections to anyone willing to put America first.
