Stephen A. Smith Drop Bombshell: "I Believe I Can WIN the 2028 Presidency!" | Forbes BLK Summit 2025

In this exclusive clip from the Forbes BLK Summit on October 10, 2025, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith gets real about his teased 2028 presidential run. Reflecting on his time with Donald Trump in 2015, SAS admits he initially thought Trump was just in it for the marketing buzz—but now, he's dead serious: "I believe I can beat them all... I truly do."

However, the sports media mogul quickly backpedals on the downsides: the endless Capitol Hill chaos, quid pro quo deals, begging for campaign cash, and giving up his lucrative career? "That part I want no part of." He even floats Maryland Gov. Wes Moore as his dream running mate to rally Black voters.

SAS wishes he could just hop on a debate stage and roast politicians from both sides without the full commitment: "They all make me sick to some degree." Is this the start of a real outsider bid, or just more hot air? Watch the full candid interview and decide!
