Charlamagne tha God Says Jon Stewart Could Shake Up the 2028 Election

Spotlight Alert Politics — August 3, 2025

In a surprising political twist, radio personality and cultural commentator Charlamagne tha God has floated comedian and political satirist Jon Stewart as a potential game-changer for the 2028 presidential race.

During an upcoming interview with Lara Trump on Fox News Channel’s “My View,” Charlamagne suggests Stewart could bring a much-needed disruption to the political landscape, calling him a “change agent coming from the outside.”

“He’s a celebrity who actually knows what he’s talking about,” Charlamagne told Trump. “He can speak to all people. And we’ve seen him get real legislation passed.”

🗳️ A Celebrity Who Resonates with the People?

Charlamagne praised Stewart’s longstanding advocacy for veterans and first responders, noting that his track record in activism sets him apart from typical entertainers-turned-politicians.

He even joked about a potential Jon Stewart–Stephen Colbert ticket, adding, “Colbert’s not going to have a job anyway,” referencing CBS’s announcement that The Late Show will end after its 32-year run.

🔁 Kamala Harris: Step Back or Strategic Pause?

Charlamagne also expressed doubts about Kamala Harris’s viability for another White House run in 2028, despite previously interviewing her during her brief campaign revival after Biden's exit.

“She revived a dead campaign, but Trump still resonated more with voters,” he said.

Harris, who recently ruled out a run for California governor, is reportedly writing a book and planning a national tour, possibly laying the groundwork for a future comeback in a different form.

🔮 Spotlight Take: Is Jon Stewart 2028 a Real Possibility?

While Stewart has not confirmed any political ambitions, his renewed public presence—alongside his criticism of Trump-era policies—has positioned him as an unlikely but intriguing contender. His experience, passion for social justice, and ability to communicate with everyday Americans could resonate with a deeply divided electorate.

For Charlamagne, the idea isn’t far-fetched—it’s a call for someone outside the political machine to step in and truly “shake things up.”
