ESPN host Stephen A. Smith<\/a> ended his Thursday radio show by predicting that no Democratic candidate has a real chance of beating a potential Republican presidential ticket of Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n

In response to a listener\u2019s question about which Democratic lawmaker could take on Vance and Rubio in a presidential race, Smith admitted that no one had a clear shot.<\/p>\n

“The answer would be no one. Not a damn soul,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

Though Smith denied anyone had a real shot at beating the hypothetical 2028 GOP ticket, he did say he would like to see someone like Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga.<\/a>, run for president.<\/p>\n

“Ossoff out of Georgia. I think that he \u2014 I like him. I like how he sounds. I do,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

Republicans view Ossoff\u2019s seat as a major pickup opportunity in the 2026 midterm cycle. He’s the only incumbent Democrat seeking re-election in a state won in 2024 by President Donald Trump<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith reiterated that beating a Vance-Rubio ticket would be a tall order, especially if the Israel-Hamas peace deal negotiated by the Trump administration is successful and lasting.<\/p>\n

Praising Rubio in particular, Smith said, “But I gotta be honest with you. If this Israel\/Hamas deal comes out to be more positive than anything else, I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s going to be able to compete with Marco Rubio, who Trump called maybe the greatest secretary of state in American history.”<\/p>\n

While speaking in Israel earlier after securing the deal, Trump praised<\/a> Rubio in particular for his role in peace negotiations, saying he believed he would go down as the greatest leader ever of the State Department.<\/p>\n

Smith added that he believes Rubio is a stronger contender for president than even Vance. Rubio sought the Republican nomination in 2016 but was one of the many challengers swept aside by Trump.<\/p>\n

“Marco Rubio gets things done,” Smith said, listing off the former Florida senator’s various job titles. “He is no joke. I put him above Vice President Vance, I can tell you that much.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
