ESPN host Stephen A. Smith took aim at those on the left celebrating President Joe Biden’s recent State of the Union performance, suggesting that anyone feeling he deserves another four years in office is “smoking crack.”
Smith questioned the emphasis placed on Biden’s energy during the speech, voicing concerns about whether the president could maintain such vigor for a four-year term starting next year. He emphasized the age factor, pointing out that Biden would be 82 years old in November and potentially serving into his late 80s.

The outspoken host reiterated his previous criticisms of the Democrats’ reliance on an elderly candidate, stating that it’s an “utter disgrace” for the supposedly progressive party to pin their hopes on an aging individual to lead into the late 2020s.
Smith maintained that age is a significant factor, noting that the public has observed “slippage” in Biden’s performance over time. He dismissed the importance of a single energetic speech, asserting that it doesn’t outweigh the long-term implications of a potential four more years under an 82-year-old president.
The sports commentator’s remarks serve as a reminder of the ongoing debate surrounding President Biden’s age and ability to effectively lead the nation, particularly as discussions about the 2024 election continue to unfold.
