Stephen A. Smith, a well-known ESPN anchor, publicly criticized President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, calling it “utterly embarrassing,” and has shown his support for a Republican contender ahead of everyone else in the upcoming 2024 presidential contest.
“Somebody’s gotta say it, so I’m gonna say it: We need a new president in 2024. We need a new president,” he stated it on Friday, The Hill reports, in his podcast.

“I voted for him, and based on some of the leading candidates on the right side, I’d probably be forced to vote for him again ’cause they scare the living hell outta me with some of the things that they’re preaching about. But I wouldn’t like it,” Smith said.
In a guest appearance on “Hannity,” Smith expressed his opinion that Biden is not the only person who is superior.
“What I’m going to tell you is this: I’m looking at him, and I don’t like what I see. … I’m very concerned with what I’ve seen, and the fact that he’s going to be 82 years of age at election time,” Smith said.
Smith calls on liberals to do better.
“It is utterly embarrassing that the liberal side has him as their best candidate. What does it say about you when that is the best candidate that you can give the left? That is ridiculous,” he said.
Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, was praised by Smith during a recent episode for joining the already crowded field of Republican presidential candidates this Tuesday.
“I understand that he’s got a gladiatorial attitude, and he’s ready to combat,” Smith said. “I think that he’s a guy that is not walking around and preaching about ‘rigged elections’ and all of this other stuff. He’s about moving the country forward.”

Smith asserts that Christie’s chances of defeating GOP front-runner and former President Donald Trump are slim.
“I’m not trying to campaign for Chris Christie or anything. The bottom line is he’s certainly not a liberal,” Smith replied.
“When you look at him, I believe that he is knowledgeable and, more significantly, that he will discuss topics rather than divert our attention with a ton of pointless rubbish that we don’t need as a nation.
“That’s all I’m saying. Now, whether he wins or not, I know it’s a long shot,” he said, adding, “I’d vote for him before I’d vote for any of the Democratic candidates that I’ve seen.”
On Friday, Smith expressed worry about Biden being the Democratic Party’s nominee, noting unsettling ramifications.
“What does it say about our country where we’re looking at an 80-year-old, who will be 82 if he wins the presidency again in 2024? What does it say about our country if that’s what we’re depending on?” he said then, according to Fox.
“I mean, to the Democrats, y’all ain’t got nobody? Nobody?”
