ESPN host Stephen A. Smith called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom on his "Straight Shooter" podcast Wednesday, telling the governor he is "still waiting" for him to appear on his show and "answer" for issues facing the state, including homelessness, crime, California’s sanctuary status and what he described as "billions in debt."

Smith noted that former Vice President Kamala Harris leads the Real Clear Politics polling average for the Democratic Party's nomination for president at 31%, while Newsom trails at 22%.
