Stephen A Smith says Trump has chance to start 'civil war' in United States

ESPN personality and OutKick's Clay Travis talk about who the pundit will vote for in the 2024 presidential election.

Stephen A. Smith has said in the past that President Biden should not run for re-election in 2024 because he would be 86 years old by the time a second term is completed.

Smith reiterated his stance that "we need a new president" while speaking with OutKick's Clay Travis earlier this week, but if he were to run against former President Trump for a second-straight election, it does not sound like the 45th president would earn the ESPN anchor's vote.

While Smith admitted that he would "have more money in my pocket" if Trump were president, he has a main concern that Trump could divide the country in such a way that history would repeat itself.

"When I look at Trump, here's where I think all of his supporters should take something into consideration: I think that he's so divisive that he could potentially cause civil war in this country. That's my concern about him," Smith told Travis. 

"What I would ask the Republicans is this: Somebody like [Ron] DeSantis would vote right along how he vote[s]. They try to implement policies just like he's implementing it. Nikki Haley as well. What're you talking about?
