Why Adam Smith says the Democrats need a rebrand
President Trump is readying new tariffs that will reportedly be his most aggressive trade policy move yet.
The White House is ready to move PAST a scandal involving the Administration’s top national security officials discussing war plans on the encrypted messaging app Signal.
And meanwhile, Democrats are facing anger from their own voters who are deeply displeased with how the party is responding to Trump and his policies.

That’s Congressman Adam Smith.
Guest:
- Adam Smith represents Washington’s 9th congressional district. It includes parts of Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kent and Federal Way. He’s also the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee
