Speculation about ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith potentially running for President of the United States continues to pick up steam.

In the past, Stephen A. Smith has expressed interest in running for President of the United States. As we saw with Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, a high-profile celebrity can become the POTUS if they run the right campaign.

As the United States constitution limits each president to two terms, Trump won’t be eligible to run again in 2028. A new president will be crowned in the next election, and Smith is quickly emerging as one of the odds-on favorites to represent the Democratic Party in 2028.

Per Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports, American prediction market Kalshi gives Stephen A. Smith the fourth-best odds (an implied chance of 7.26 percent) of being the Democrat nominee for the 2028 presidential election:

“Smith has the same price as Pete Buttigieg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Gretchen Whitmer. Only Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Wes Moore have shorter odds. Smith has better odds than J.B. Pritzker, Andy Beshear, Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Raphael Warnock, John Fetterman, and Mark Cuban.”

Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Harris won the Democratic nomination easily after Joe Biden announced in July that he wouldn’t seek re-election.

Trump became the first American president who had no prior political experience or military service. Love or hate “The Donald”, the man changed the American presidential landscape forever and showed other celebrities that anyone can become the most powerful person in the world.

As one of America’s most popular, recognizable and followed sports analysts, Smith would have his fair share of supporters if he ran for office. Few analysts in the world of sports journalism match his humor, outspoken personality and charisma, after all.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
