Rep. Adam Smith Urges Democrats to Prioritize Credibility Over Trump Criticism

The Washington congressman calls for a focus on governance and key policy issues like affordable housing, immigration, and the economy.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) emphasized the need for Democrats to rebuild credibility on issues such as immigration, the economy, and housing policy.
Smith criticized his party for spending time on trivial matters, like Elon Musk's recent actions, instead of addressing substantive issues.
He urged Democrats to focus on effective governance, citing homelessness, drug abuse, and affordable housing as critical areas requiring attention.
Smith acknowledged past missteps by the Biden administration on border security and called for a balanced approach to immigration reform.
The congressman argued that demonstrating competence in governance is the best way to counter former President Trump's policies and regain public trust.
