Episode: Could Stephen A. Smith Win an Election?
Description: Stephen A. Smith (featured commentator and executive producer, ESPN’s “First Take, and podcast host, “The Stephen A. Smith Show”) joins Chris Cuomo to address speculation about whether he could run for office—and whether he’d ever consider it. He and Cuomo break down why media personalities are sometimes seen as political figures, what that says about the state of leadership in America, and why Trump continues to dominate the political landscape. They also discuss the Democratic Party’s struggles to connect with voters, Joy Reid’s exit from MSNBC, and whether political media could ever function like sports media.
