Trump backs Stephen A. Smith for possible 2028 bid for president: 'I'd love to see him run'
Briefly

During a recent NewsNation interview, President Trump praised sportscaster Stephen A. Smith and expressed interest in him running for president. This discussion followed a tough questioning session from Smith regarding Trump's administration actions that dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and their implications for racial minorities. Trump responded by emphasizing a merit-based system, stating qualifications should supersede considerations of race and other personal attributes when it comes to opportunities such as college admissions.
If somebody's out there doing a great job -and this includes getting into colleges if you've worked really hard - and we don't look at race.
I’ve been pretty good at picking people and picking candidates, and I will tell you I’d love to see him run.”},{
