Stephen A. Smith said on Wednesday\u2019s episode of “The Sage Steele Show” that he regrets voting for former Vice President Kamala Harris, telling Sage Steele he initially believed Harris could work across the aisle before concluding Democrats still did not understand why they lost.<\/p>\n

Steele asked Smith about his comments prior to the 2024 election on Dave Rubin’s show about voting for former Vice President Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You went on his show, and you said that you voted for Kamala Harris?” she asked.<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Smith responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Steele then added, “And that you regretted it,” to which Smith answered, “Yeah.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith went on to explain that he cast that vote because he believed Harris was capable of compromise, but said he later concluded Democrats<\/a> still did not understand why they lost.<\/p>\n

“I also believed that she was the kind of person that\u2026 could work across the aisle,” Smith said. “And then when I saw how things were unfolding and how out in the clouds the Democratic Party was even after they lost the election, I just said, \u2018There\u2019s no hope.\u2019”<\/p>\n

He added, “I said, \u2018I don\u2019t know what the hell I was thinking about believing that you all would get it, because you still don\u2019t get it.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Smith repeatedly framed his decision through the lens of how government should function. He told Steele he is “completely and adamantly against one-party rule” and said he prefers divided government<\/a>, with one party in the White House and the other controlling at least one chamber of Congress.<\/p>\n

However, Smith said he still viewed Harris as someone Congress could pressure into consensus-driven governing, unlike President Donald Trump, whom he described as uniquely powerful and harder to restrain.<\/p>\n

“I knew that they would be able to compel her to do that,” he said of Congress<\/a>. “Which would make the American people feel comfortable about whatever decision was being made because we\u2019re understanding that things are being run from a consensus perspective.”<\/p>\n

“Trump was the latter,” he said. “Trump was different in that regard. I wasn\u2019t comfortable with that because it\u2019s him.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith added that if Republicans had nominated another candidate, his vote may have been different.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If it was Marco Rubio in there, I\u2019d have voted for Marco Rubio in a heartbeat,” he said. “I would have voted for Nikki Haley in a heartbeat without question.”<\/p>\n

Steele challenged Smith on why he was so critical of Democrats after the election if he still voted for Harris in November. Smith pushed back, saying he had been publicly warning for a long time that Biden needed to step aside.<\/p>\n

“Who was the person that went on the air a year and a half ago and said we need a new president. Biden\u2019s got to go. That was me,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

After Steele said there was still “a pull” in Smith to represent “the Black community” and his family, Smith replied, “That\u2019s fair,” adding, “People need to be able to admit that that pull that exists. It\u2019s human.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Harris for comment, but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
