Charlamagne Tha God has expressed a strong desire to see Jon Stewart as a presidential candidate in 2028. In a recent interview with Lara Trump on Fox News, Charlamagne highlighted Stewart’s potential as a “change agent” capable of appealing to a wide audience. He remarked, “I would love to see Jon Stewart run in 2028,” emphasizing Stewart’s past achievements in advocating for important legislation and his ability to engage with the public authentically.
The Breakfast Club host also joked about the possibility of a Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert ticket, speculating that Colbert might be looking for new opportunities. This endorsement comes at a time when politics appears to be shifting towards candidates who can disrupt the status quo, particularly from outside traditional party lines.
Stewart, who returned to The Daily Show in a part-time role in 2022, has been recognized for his advocacy on critical issues such as veterans’ health care and legislation for 9/11 first responders. Although Stewart has openly stated he has no ambitions for the presidency, Charlamagne’s comments resonate with a growing desire among some voters for leaders with authentic backgrounds and fresh perspectives.
With political discussions evolving, the suggestion of a Stewart candidacy highlights the electorate’s increasing openness to non-traditional candidates who could potentially bring about meaningful change.
The interview will air on Fox News this Saturday, offering viewers a chance to hear more of Charlamagne’s thoughts on the future of American leadership.
