Stephen A. Smith Discusses His Regrets From 2024 Presidential Election


ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith said he regrets voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Smith also said he’s open to voting for a Republican moving forward.

“I voted Democrat, and I got to tell you something right now, I don’t like the fact that I did. I don’t like what I’m seeing,” Smith told ‘Life, Liberty & Levin’ host Mark Levin.

“I don’t think anybody could dismiss Donald Trump at this particular moment of time. Not just because of him but because of what we’ve seen the Democrats do. We’re not falling for it any longer. The American people aren’t falling for it any longer,” he explained.

“I don’t want to hear about, ‘Oh we’re about the law. Nobody’s above the law. Nobody’s above the law.’ But then you go out, and you pardon your son, and you try to blame everybody else for it. I don’t want to hear about defund the police. I don’t want to hear about, you know what? There should be open borders. I don’t want to hear this stuff. And I don’t think most of the American people want to hear that,” Smith told Levin.

Following the election, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders pinned blame for Harris’ loss on the Democratic Party for “abandoning” the working class, sparking a rebuke from former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change,” Sanders posted to X in November, accompanied by a press release on the election results. “And they’re right.”

Smith told Levin he is “no longer interested in… listening to a bunch of fearmongering to tell us who we shouldn’t vote for.”

“Why don’t you come up with a plan that tells us why we should vote for you?” he posited.

“We’re not about America only, but being about America and prioritizing what’s going on in this nation with the desolate and the disenfranchized and everybody else in between, and looking out for the best interests of what it is for America… that is not a crime for an American politician or commander in chief or senator or congressional figure to have that mentality,” he continued.

Smith said he’s “open-minded” about potentially voting for Republican candidates.

“If Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Byron Donalds, Marco Rubio, or a host of other Republican candidates coming down the pike, that’s the kind of message that they’re going to put forth, I’m down for it. I’m open-minded enough to make sure that they entertain that from a policy perspective. That’s what I want for the American people. That’s what I want for this nation,” he said.

In a recent episode of his show, Stephen A. Smith questioned if he’s becoming a Republican.
