He has been approached by people in politics, including elected officials, who have asked him about his potential presidential run, leading him to take the idea more seriously.
Despite enjoying his current life and career, he is keeping his options open and entertaining the possibility of a presidential run, particularly if he sees the country in a state of disarray.
He also emphasized that if he were to run for president, it would be to win and not for attention, and he believes his lack of a political record could work in his favor.
Smith stated that he is considering potential Democratic challengers such as Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro, and Gavin Newsom, and is also monitoring the Republican field, but he plans to make a final decision by late 2026 or early 2027.
