While speaking with Hannity, Smith said, “I’ve never seen, since Biden has been president, anyone on the liberal side that has been more forceful, more convincing, and more defying against the right than Gavin Newsom. And more effective. He was brilliant.”
Smith’s praise didn’t come without criticism, though. He said there was one “problematic” issue for The Golden State’s leader.
“But then I come out to California and these damn taxes, they invent ways to take your money in this state. So that might be problematic,” Smith continued. “But I got to tell you. I still approve of that. Better than you rely on an 82-year-old candidate.”
