MSNBC senior political analyst Matthew Dowd rejected James Carville's call for less celebration and more focus on winning the campaign for Vice President Harris.
Senior MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd was critical of veteran Democratic strategist James Carville on Friday for warning Democrats about getting cocky, telling him to go persuade 'other old White guys to vote for Kamala Harris.' Since President Biden stepped aside under pressure on Sunday and Vice President Kamala Harris rapidly ascended to become the presumptive nominee, many Democrats have had a noticeable honeymoon season over their new candidate.
There’s this hunger, this incredible hunger to the struggle of the last four years and the darkness of the last four years and the sort of pain of the last four years and the cruelty of what Trump and the GOP have done, that there’s this idea of like, ‘Let’s get out there and celebrate and challenge and move and have fun and finally get past this holding the hill and let’s take it to the battlefield,’' he continued.
He suggested a better use of Carville’s time than warning Democrats against celebrating too much. 'So I think that enthusiasm is key to her victory in the course of this,' he argued. 'And I would advise James Carville and … old White political operatives to trust the Harris campaign, the savvy and the smartness of the campaign. And if I was advising James Carville to spend time, I would tell him to spend time to convince other old White guys to vote for Kamala Harris.
