Stephen A. Smith on political future: I only want ‘the big job’

Stephen A. Smith says he’d only run for the top job — no interest in being VP or a ceremonial tie‑breaking Senate role.
He’d run as a Democrat and wants the party to move closer to the center, saying it’s leaned too far left.
Smith has flirted with political ambitions before (and once joked he wouldn’t give up his money), and a 2028 bid would be another celebrity-to-politician entry.
