James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, said Friday the November election 'wouldn't have been close' if President Biden had dropped in 2023.
James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, said Friday that Democrats would have won in the November presidential election if President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign more than a year earlier.
“Had President Biden gotten out in, say, May of 2023, I don’t have any doubt that Democrats would have won, and it wouldn’t have been close,” Carville said during an appearance on “Rising,” a show by The Hill.“The fundamental of this election in literally ... I don’t know, I’d say 99, it might even be 100, is do people wanna change or do they wanna stay on the direction that they going?” the strategist explained.
“We lost for one very simple reason: It was, it is, and it always will be the economy, stupid,” the essay read. “We have to begin 2025 with that truth as our political North Star and not get distracted by anything else.”Carville added that he kept “coming back to the same thing” when thinking about why Democrats lost.
“I’ve been going over this in my head for the past two months, all the variables, all the what-ifs, all the questions about Joe Biden’s re-election decisions and what kind of Democrat or message might have worked against Donald Trump,” he said.“Although the U.S. economy remains the strongest in the world, with G.D.P. soaring and inflation subsiding, the American people did not settle for us being better than the rest or take that as good enough,” the essay read.
Carville said a lot of Americans perceive Democrats as “out to lunch" on the economy, “not feeling their pain or caring too much about other things instead.”
