Stephen A. Smith, a renowned ESPN sports commentator, has been discussing running for President in 2028 since his name appeared in a poll at the start of the year.

In a new interview with Complex’s Speedy Morman, Smith emphasized that he is still weighing his options, saying, “I’ll leave the door open.”

“You’re saying that I switched positions. I haven’t switched positions. I said, I’ve been compelled after talking to my pastor and numerous politicians who I would not name,…they asked me to leave the door open, so I’ll leave it open,”

Smith went on to joke that being president would would come with “a huge damn pay cut,” which he would be unwilling to take.

However, Smith went on to tease that things may change over the next few years.

“Now, three years from now, if I change my mind, that would be a change,” he continued. “I want to continue to get paid, to be successful, without the scrutiny of tens of millions of American citizens who might not like my positions on the border, the economy, health care, or something else. I’d rather not have that problem. But if desperate times call for desperate measures and enough people come my way, I’ll leave the door open for the possibility [to run].”
