James Carville Criticizes Stephen A. Smith Over Political Commentary

The Democratic strategist told the ESPN host to focus on sports and stop speculating about politics after Smith floated the idea of a 2028 presidential run.

James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, criticized ESPN host Stephen A. Smith for discussing politics and suggesting he might run for president in 2028.
Carville praised Smith's sports commentary but said he lacks knowledge about politics, urging him to stay in his lane and avoid making a 'fool' of himself.
Smith recently stated on his podcast that Democrats are struggling to present strong leadership, which is why his name has been mentioned as a potential candidate.
While Smith denied having serious intentions to run, he admitted he might consider it if he had a strong chance of winning, citing the Democratic Party's current state of disarray.
Carville pointed to leaders like Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as examples of Democratic talent, countering Smith's claims of a weak party bench.
