Today's Poll Question: Should a candidate's mental illness be judged the same as a physical illness?

About this episode

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should a candidate's mental illness be judged the same as a physical illness? Congressman Tom Kean Jr. returns to Capitol Hill after months away and reveals he was hospitalized for depression, reigniting a national conversation about mental health, stigma, transparency, and public service. Michael Smerconish examines the powerful disclosure, the sharply divided reactions—including criticism from Rep. Lauren Boebert—and whether Americans truly treat mental illness the same way they treat physical illness. He also explores the legitimate questions about accountability after more than 100 missed House votes, asking where compassion ends, public responsibility begins, and how voters should weigh both.
