Summary
Stephen A. Smith said Democrats risk handing the 2028 presidency to Republicans if the party embraces democratic socialist politics tied to Zohran Mamdani.
On his Monday show, Smith was responding to Mamdani's claim that a democratic socialist "can get elected anywhere" and argued that message may work with young New York voters but not suburban general-election voters.
Smith said Mamdani's rise reflects a real wealth gap and frustration among working-class voters, even as he rejected socialism and questioned where it has succeeded.
Mamdani's influence has grown after three Mamdani-backed socialist candidates won New York Democratic primaries, including 2 victories over incumbents, while other socialist campaigns are launching nationwide.
