The Golden State Warriors star gave CBS Mornings' Jericka Duncan a "maybe" when asked if he'd run for president

Steph Curry is open to a career pivot when his days on the court are over.

The Golden State Warriors point guard, 35, told CBS News’ Jericka Duncan that he wouldn’t rule out becoming president of the United States one day. “I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good,” he explained on CBS Mornings. “So if that’s the way to do it, then maybe.”

Curry added that if politics were the path to creating “meaningful change,” then he would consider a foray into civics to tackle issues like literacy rates in younger generations.

“Not that soon,” he replied when Duncan, 40, suggested a 2028 campaign.
