Smith discussing the political stance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and its implications for voter appeal.
  • An increasing number of voters, particularly minorities and independents, feel that the Democrats are neglecting their needs.

  • Current Democratic leaders, represented by Ocasio-Cortez and Crockett, risk alienating potential voters by prioritizing anti-Trump rhetoric over genuine solutions.
