Trump is ‘gaining traction’ with Democrats: Stephen A. Smith – Washington Examiner
In a recent segment on Fox News,stephen A.Smith discussed President donald Trump’s increasing appeal among Democratic voters, particularly Black and young voters. He attributed this shift to the disconnect between Democratic lawmakers and the priorities of their constituents, suggesting that many politicians prioritize an anti-Trump narrative over concrete policy solutions.Smith claimed that figures like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and outspoken Democratic representatives are counterproductive in their opposition to Trump, which may inadvertently bolster his support among Democrats. He noted that this trend could have significant implications for upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028, as the Republican party might benefit from the Democratic focus on an anti-Trump agenda rather than addressing key governance issues. Smith emphasized the importance of recognizing how certain Democratic leaders’ actions could be perceived by the electorate, possibly leading to negative outcomes for their party.
Trump is ‘gaining traction’ with Democrats: Stephen A. Smith
Stephen A. Smith said Thursday that President Donald Trump is gaining “traction” with Democratic voters as the Left’s lawmakers continue to put politics ahead of policy.
“Trump is gaining traction within the Democratic Party. Black voters, young voters,” Smith said during an appearance on Fox News’s Hannity. “He did it during the election, but the trajectory seems to be going in a forward direction.”
Smith said that Trump’s apparent gains among Democratic voters come at a time when Democratic politicians such as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and liberals in Congress push a “counterproductive” anti-Trump message.

“They haven’t realized yet that if it’s AOC or it’s Jasmine Crockett … there’s a reason Sean Hannity shows them every chance he gets,” Smith said.
“He wants them to be illuminated. He wants them to be front and center for the Democratic Party because it will ensure that the Republicans are gonna win in 2026 and 2028.”
The ESPN host did not fault Sean Hannity for his coverage, and said it shows how “tone-deaf” lawmakers such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) are.

“Their focus seems to be on doing anything, being the antithesis of Trump, instead of helping to govern the country,” he said.
“When the book comes out, and that stuff is revealed, it makes it even worse.”
