Smith<\/a> expressed his admiration for\u2062 California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-am-i-losing-in-polls-to-a-mental-retard-new-book-claims-trump-lost-it-when-biden-polled-well\/\" title=\"\u2018How Am I Losing In Polls To A Mental Retard?\u2019: New Book Claims Trump Lost It When Biden Polled Well\">potential replacement<\/a> for President\u200b Joe Biden atop the\u200b Democratic Party ticket in 2024. However, \u200bSmith \u200calso acknowledged a problem \u200cthat Newsom faces.<\/p>\n<p>Smith began\u200c the discussion by addressing Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/here-are-the-republican-lawmakers-who-have-backed-trump-following-his-target-letter\/\" title=\"These Republican lawmakers support Trump despite his target letter.\">legal \u200dissues<\/a> and how his fundraising\u2064 efforts have been used to cover his legal expenses. He\u200c argued that if Democrats want to secure\u2062 victory\u200b in 2024, they need to take a different \u2062approach and move away from Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You have any \u200bidea how stupid\u200c you\u2019re going to look as a party [if you nominate President Joe Biden]?&#8221;\u200c Smith exclaimed. &#8220;First of all, you\u2063 look stupid enough because you \u200ccall yourself \u2064progressives. And you\u2019re riding\u200b the coattails of a guy that\u2019s going to be 82 years\u2062 old \u200dduring election year, begging him to run for re-election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Smith\u2063 pointed out that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-so-many-people-are-fleeing-california-they-may-lose-a-house-seat-and-electoral-college-vote\/\" title=\"REPORT: So Many People Are Fleeing California They May Lose A House Seat And Electoral College Vote\">high taxes<\/a> \u2062in California prevent\u2062 him \u200dfrom fully supporting Newsom.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;You call \u200dyourself progressives \u2062and the best you can \u200bdo is an 82-year-old that\u2019s already \u2064in office,\u200d an 82-year-old incumbent,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I personally believe\u2063 if it wasn\u2019t for these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stephen-a-smith-gushes-over-gavin-newsom-but-highlights-problematic-issue-for-him\/\" title=\"Stephen A.

He was brilliant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But then I\u2064 come out to California and these damn taxes,\u2063 they invent ways to take your money in this \u200cstate. So that might \u2064be problematic,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But I got\u2063 to\u200c tell\u200b you. I still approve of that. Better than you rely on an \u200d82-year-old \u200bcandidate.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen A.
