Top ESPN Personality 'Regrets' Voting For Kamala Harris

One of the top voices of ESPN admits that he "regrets" who he voted for in the 2024 presidential election.
Donald Trump topped Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Trump received 312 Electoral College votes, in an election that wasn't really close. Trump and his VP, J.D. Vance, will be taking office in January 2025.
But while one of ESPN's top personalities voted for Kamala Harris in November, he's now second guessing his decision.
Stephen A. Smith, the face of ESPN, admitted that he voted Democrat in November. But Smith, who is reportedly signing a $100 million contract with the Worldwide Leader, appears to be second guessing his decision.
"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," Smith said on 'Life, LIberty & Levin' on Saturday.
Smith added that he's "no longer interested in… listening to a bunch of fearmongering to tell us who we shouldn't vote for."
Smith continued.
"Why don't you come up with a plan that tells us why we should vote for you?" Smith asked.
"We're not about America only, but being about America and prioritizing what's going on in this nation with the desolate and the disenfranchised and everybody else in between, and looking out for the best interests of what it is for America… that is not a crime for an American politician or commander in chief or senator or congressional figure to have that mentality."
"If Donald Trump, JD Vance, Byron Donalds, Marco Rubio, or a host of other Republican candidates coming down the pike, that's the kind of message that they're going to put forth, I'm down for it. I'm open-minded enough to make sure that they entertain that from a policy perspective. That's what I want for the American people. That's what I want for this nation."
Smith further explained why he voted for Kamala Harris - or, more simply, against Donald Trump.
"What concerned me about Donald Trump, and the reason I voted against him and voted for Kamala Harris, was because I felt that he would be divisive. That he would create chaos because he demands such a level of loyalty and fealty to him. And that would take priority over governing our nation. That was my concern," Smith explained.
"It can't be just about fealty to him and loyalty to him. It has to be about getting the job done on behalf of what's in the best interests of the American people as opposed to yourself, and not engaging in the kind of juvenile tendencies, tweeting all the time and going after people who are really…irrelevant in the grand scheme of things."
Smith is honest, you have to give him that.
