Pollster James Carville’s vulgar three-word verdict on why Kamala Harris will win the election

Veteran American political strategist James Carville says he believes Democratic candidate Kamala Harris can win the presidency, partly because her campaign is better organized and also because Trump is “assholes.”

Carville, 80, guided Bill Clinton to the White House in 1992 with a campaign best remembered for its pithy motto: It’s “the economy, stupid.”

This time, Carville infuriated Democrats by loudly insisting for months that President Joe Biden was too old to run again — until the party suddenly agreed with him and Biden stepped aside.

‘I think she’s going to win. She has more money, more energy, has a more united party, has better surrogates and he is completely crazy,” Carville further said. MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday.

Carville also called out the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post newspapers over their decision not to endorse Harris.

“I mean, if you start talking about lining up a political opponent with nine people in a firing squad and then the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to get involved in this,’ this is dirty politics. It’s unbelievable,” he said.

“Joe, it’s unbelievable. We’ve been around the world once or twice and we’ve never seen anything like this before.’

Carville is currently a senior adviser for the liberal American Super PAC and opposition research group American Bridge 21st Century and has aired why he believes Harris will win the White House.

‘My reason is 100 percent emotional. We are constantly told that America is too divided, too hopelessly stricken with tribalism, to understand the stakes. That is plain wrong,” Carville wrote in a piece for the New York Times.

“If the Cheneys and the AOC understand that the Constitution and our democracy are up for a vote, then every true conservative and every true progressive should get it too. A vast majority of Americans are rational, reasonable people of good will,” Carville said.

Carville believes Kamala Harris will win because she has “more money, more energy and a more united party.”

Carville described Trump as ‘sons of a bitch’ and hopes a win for Harris will put Trump ‘into long-term remission’

Veteran strategist James Carville sent Bill Clinton to the White House with a campaign best remembered for its pithy motto: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

“I refuse to believe that the same country that has overcome its mistakes time and time again to bend its future toward justice will make the same mistake twice. America defeated Mr. Trump in 2020. I know we know we’re better than this.

“We not only have the opportunity to elect Kamala Harris as president, but also an opportunity to put an end to Donald Trump’s sordid career and drive MAGA into long-term remission.”

Carville believes Harris can win the election by once again following his famous motto and becoming “more aggressive” with attacks on Donald Trump’s economic record.

“As usual, Trump is offering people snake oil and things that have never worked — like tariffs, which historically is a dumb idea,” Carville said of the Republican presidential candidate.

“We don’t have to be as good as Bill Clinton” at delivering that message, Carville said, referring to his silver-tongued former boss as “the greatest who ever lived.”

But ‘you cannot separate human life from economic life. We discover that more and more every day,” says Carville.

Carville, a staunch Democrat, has been married for 41 years to Republican strategist Mary Matalin, 71

The current Democratic government is paralyzed by soaring inflation.

But price increases have cooled recently and other economic indicators, such as the stock markets, are near record highs.

And experts, including the head of the International Monetary Fund, have warned that Trump’s plans for new tariffs risk raising consumer prices, hitting lower-income families the hardest.

“Some people may think the economy could be better for them. They always do that,” Carville said.

But while “Trump says you have nothing to lose… I think we are definitely at a point where you have something to lose,” he said.

‘Record numbers of Americans are working. Record numbers of Americans have some money in the stock market… we need to talk about it in a way that is relevant to people.”

Political consultant James Carville is no longer in the Democratic war room, but his influence remains outsized

Carville was heavily criticized for an interview in March in which he said the Democratic party had become “too feminine” and was dominated by values ​​such as “don’t drink beer.” Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. Everything you do destroys the planet.”

But Carville believes there is a quiet but necessary scaling back of “identity politics” within his party.

“Nobody talks like that anymore… it didn’t work,” he said.

But despite his legendary status among political strategists, Carville insists he is “not very good at predicting elections.”

“I never think about who’s going to win,” he said. “Because every minute I spend thinking about who’s going to win, I’m not thinking about how we can win.”
