Suggestion for the 2028 Presidential Race Unexpectedly Put Forward by Charlamagne tha God
In an interview on "My View with Lara Trump," which airs on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 9 p.m. ET, popular talk show host Charlamagne Tha God expressed his support for comedian Jon Stewart to run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2028.
Charlamagne Tha God, known for his outspoken nature, sees Stewart as a "change agent" who could shake up the political landscape and appeal to a broad audience. He suggested the possibility of a Jon Stewart–Stephen Colbert ticket, as both are media personalities with leadership experience and public recognition.
The host believes that Jon Stewart, with his experience in passing legislation and understanding of the political landscape, could disrupt the political scene in 2028. He cited Stewart's ability to connect with people and his reputation as a thought leader as key reasons for his support.

During the interview, Charlamagne Tha God also discussed Kamala Harris' loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. He views this as an opportunity for the Democratic Party to find a "change agent" to lead the party.
In addition, the interview touched on the first six months of Trump's presidency and predicted Harris' political future. Charlamagne Tha God also discussed whether he agrees with socialism, but no specific details were provided.
The interview also covered the policy proposals of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.
Charlamagne Tha God did not rule out the possibility of voting for a Republican candidate in the next presidential election. He accused Donald Trump of trying to "make America North Korea" by engaging in "authoritarian rule" on media.
The show "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is ending in May 2026, according to CBS. However, Charlamagne Tha God suggested Democrats consider Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore as potential 2028 presidential candidates. He also mentioned former South Carolina Gov. and former U.S. Amb. to the United Nations Nikki Haley as a potential Republican candidate he might support.
