Stephen A. Smith sounds the alarm on the state of the Democratic Party and asks a critical question ahead of 2028: Who can actually win?
On this edition of Straight Shooter, Stephen A. takes a hard look at the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists, the continued spotlight on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Kamala Harris, and why he believes what Democrats are currently putting in front of voters *“ain’t gonna work.”*
Stephen A. breaks down the potential 2028 Democratic field, including Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore, Pete Buttigieg, J.B. Pritzker, Andy Beshear, Elissa Slotkin, Cory Booker and more. He also explains why Republicans like JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Ron DeSantis could present a much different challenge once Donald Trump is no longer on the ballot.
With both parties fighting over the future direction of America, Stephen A. makes his case for why Democrats need to wake up, find stronger candidates and give voters a legitimate choice in 2028.
