Besides his strong presence as a sports analyst, Stephen A. Smith has discussed different topics in recent years. The ESPN talent shared his thoughts on former first lady Michelle Obama refusing to run for office at some point. On Saturday, Obama responded to actress Tracee Ellis Ross' question about whether there was enough room for Americans to have a woman president. “As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said.Stephen A. Smith reacted to those comments. On Monday's edition of his "Straight Shooter" show, Smith went on a passionate rant about why Michelle Obama would make a solid candidate."Does anybody doubt right now, as we sit here on this day, November 17, 2025, that if Michelle Obama came out today and said, ‘I'm going to be the Democratic nominee, I aspire to be the Democratic nominee for the presidency of the United States of America,’ who would beat her? "It's gonna be Josh Shapiro? It's gonna be Gavin Newsom? It's gonna be Governor Beshear in Kentucky. Who do the Democrats have that could compete with Michelle Obama? What do you mean? The country isn't ready. The country isn't ready. So you'd lose to J.D. Vance, really, or you couldn't have a chance to beat Marco Rubio, who I think is the best candidate the Republicans have for the presidency, because Trump ain't circumventing the 22nd amendment and is going to be able to run for a third term. He added:"So if Michelle Obama is really, really serious about what she's saying, she's also arguably seriously false, because I believe she cake walks to the Democratic nomination, and I believe she could win it all."Stephen A. Smith has been very active talking about different topics other than sports. He is in the middle of a feud with Cari Champion and Jemele Hill after the former ESPN host said Smith didn't help Champion land her job with the company. Stephen A.
