Stephen A. Smith, the well-known ESPN sports commentator, recently expressed regret over his past decision to vote for Kamala Harris. During a candid interview with Fox News host Mark Levin, Smith shared his growing disillusionment with the Democratic Party. “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,” he stated.
Interestingly, Smith mentioned that although he has never cast a vote for a Republican candidate before, he is now open-minded about considering it in the future. He emphasized his desire for policies that truly benefit the American people and expressed concern over Donald Trump’s leadership style. Smith explained that his initial vote against Trump was driven by fears of divisiveness and chaos due to Trump’s demand for loyalty over effective governance.
Smith’s comments have sparked discussions online, as seen in a tweet saying, “Sounds like Stephen A. Smith has some regrets! At least he’s finally awake and admitting this… ‘The American people aren’t falling for it any longer.'”

Despite traditionally voting Democrat, Smith hasn’t shied away from challenging leftist narratives when necessary. Earlier this month, he criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter on gun charges and tax-related crimes during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo. “It wasn’t his decision. It wasn’t him pardoning his son,” Smith remarked, highlighting what he saw as a weak explanation from Biden that left many critics puzzled.
Smith’s willingness to voice such opinions reflects a broader sentiment among some voters who feel increasingly skeptical of party lines and are looking for leaders who prioritize national interests over personal agendas or political fealty.
