Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) addressed the need for Democrats to focus on rebuilding their credibility on important issues rather than getting sidetracked by trivial concerns, such as recent controversies surrounding Trump. He highlighted that issues like immigration, economy, and homelessness require urgent attention and credibility. Rather than merely criticizing Trump, Democrats should demonstrate effective governance and tangible achievements in areas that matter to voters. Smith argues that if Democrats can effectively manage issues such as housing and crime, they will counter Trump's narrative more efficiently.
We do need to be a lot more selective about what we're concerned about that Trump's doing. I think we need to focus more specifically on issues.
My party needs to reestablish our credibility on a number of issues... we have to do that and we have to do it intelligently.
