Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN sports commentator, recently shared his thoughts on Vice President Harris‘s speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), noting that her performance improved very well after a shaky start. Initially, Smith felt Harris focused too heavily on her credentials, but he later praised her for being “sensational.”
Smith told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Friday that he was “very, very” impressed with Harris’s acceptance speech. He described her ability to assert her suitability for the Democratic presidential nomination and to challenge perceptions of her as a radical leftist.

Addressing the Chicago convention, Harris sought to build on her campaign’s momentum as she was officially nominated to face former President Trump in the upcoming election. The convention was a critical moment for Harris, aiming to sustain the excitement generated in her recent rallies and fundraising efforts.
Throughout the week, various political figures underscored Harris’s readiness for office compared to Trump. Smith highlighted how Harris’s speech leveraged the momentum from previous days and praised the addresses by former President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as “sensational.”
Smith noted that Harris’s speech contrasted favorably with Trump’s lengthy address at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. He commended her for avoiding any resemblance to Trump’s style and delivering a compelling final segment, describing her performance as “absolutely sensational” in making her case to the American people on behalf of the Democratic Party.
