Evan Roth Smith on the importance for Democrats to defend entitlement programs

Slingshot founding partner Evan Roth Smith spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash about the relentless attacks against entitlement programs and why Democrats should consolidate their message around defending them. 

“Well, Democrats should be very concerned, and voters are telling the party exactly what they want, right? Not just not just how angry they are, but where they want us to focus. They see Donald Trump. Some of these government cuts that he's entertaining and Elon Musk is implementing, threatening some of these core programs, like Social Security, like Medicare, like Medicaid, these are third rails of American politics. And you do hear Democrats talk about these things, and third rails red with enormous electoral consequences when they're threatened,” said Smith.
