Stephen A. Smith appeared on an episode of Hannity this week, where he discussed with Sean Hannity why the Democratic Party is no longer what it used to be.
Hannity began his conversation with Smith by stating that the main concern for Democrats is that they have gone too far left, adopting socialist policies in the eyes of voters.
“It’s no wonder that socialists and Marxists are continuing to ascend from within the shattered remains of what used to be the Democratic party.”, Hannity said
Hannity followed up his statement by calling New York City’s Democratic Mayoral Candidate Zoran Mamdani a renowned socialist who has been seen hanging out with US politics mainstays like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
“Well, first of all, I’m not a fan of anybody who is for socialism instead of capitalism in the United States of America”, said Smith
Smith admitted that he is a registered independent and is very proud of it. Smith referenced a Gallup poll online saying that 54 percent of independent voters in America prefer capitalism over socialism.
Smith was on the record in the interview with Hannity, saying that he does vibe with and respect Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) and Gov Josh Shapiro (D-Penn.).
“Kamala Harris should regret that she didn’t pick Shapiro as her running mate in 2024 when instead she wrongfully picked Tim Walz of Minnesota.”, said Smith
Smith thinks that too many Democrats in Congress and around the nation aren’t following in line correctly with their voter base, especially more moderate people in the party.
Smith and Hannity hope the Democrats can start paying more attention to all people in their base, especially during election times.
