On The Sean Hannity Show, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith defended Vice President Kamala Harris against claims by Sean Hannity that she struggles to articulate her political positions, while questioning Donald Trump's mental acuity. Smith challenged Hannity's assertion that Trump is coherent, pointing out Trump's recent avoidance of press events and media appearances due to reported exhaustion. Hannity maintained that he finds Trump 'dialed in' during private interactions, but Smith dismissed this, suggesting that public perception differs. The exchange highlighted contrasting perspectives on Trump's and Harris's public speaking abilities and political transparency. Smith emphasized that while he is not opposed to the Republican party generally, he finds Trump's character and truthfulness indefensible.
