The liberal media establishment is having a meltdown after one of ESPN's most prominent voices just delivered a massive blow to the Democrat Party's 2028 hopes.

Stephen A. Smith, the loudmouthed sports analyst who has spent years attacking conservatives, shocked viewers Thursday when he admitted he's "not ruling out" voting for Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the 2028 presidential election—provided Smith doesn't run for office himself.

You read that right, folks. A prominent Democrat media figure is so impressed with Trump's foreign policy team that he's willing to cross party lines and support a Republican for the highest office in the land.

Even Democrats Can't Deny Trump's Success

During his appearance on Dave Rubin's show, Smith praised Rubio's performance as Secretary of State under President Trump's second administration. This comes as no surprise to patriots who have watched Rubio expertly navigate complex international crises while putting America First on the world stage.

"Well, let me tell you something about Marco Rubio—the man knows foreign policy," Smith reportedly said, acknowledging what conservatives have known for years.

Smith, who describes himself as a "moderate Democrat," also revealed his "former acquaintanceship" with President Trump, suggesting that even his critics are beginning to recognize the 47th President's remarkable leadership abilities.

This bombshell admission exposes a dirty little secret the mainstream media doesn't want you to know: Trump's policies are working so well that even longtime Democrats are jumping ship.

The Democrat Party's 2028 Nightmare

Smith's potential defection represents a broader trend among reasonable Americans who are fed up with the radical left's failed agenda. When even ESPN personalities are considering voting Republican, you know the Democrat Party is in serious trouble.

The fact that Smith is also considering his own presidential run shows just how fractured and desperate the Democrats have become. They have no bench, no message, and apparently no way to keep their own media allies in line.

As Secretary Rubio continues to deliver victories for America on the international stage, expect more Democrats to follow Stephen A. Smith's lead. The Trump-Vance administration's success is undeniable—and even the liberal media can't hide it anymore.

I've been watching Smith for years and he's been getting more critical of the left lately. Makes sense he'd appreciate Rubio's practical approach to governance.

Same here. You can see him getting frustrated with the woke nonsense even on ESPN.

What specifically did Smith say about Rubio's policies? I'm curious if this was about immigration or foreign policy issues.

The fact that prominent media figures are openly considering GOP candidates shows how badly Democrats have overplayed their hand. Rubio represents the future of conservative leadership.

Stephen A. Smith has always been fair even when I disagreed with him. Rubio is solid on foreign policy and would make a great presidential candidate in 2028.

Agreed! Smith calls it like he sees it, and Rubio has been consistent on defending American interests abroad.

As a Floridian, I can tell you Rubio has done excellent work in the Senate. His foreign policy expertise is exactly what we need after the Biden disaster.

This is HUGE! When you're losing Stephen A. Smith, you know the Democratic party has gone too far left.
