Democratic strategist James Carville isn’t happy Joe is on the ballot…
“We have a choice to make in November,” Carville said on 77 WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” on Sunday. “It isn’t the choice I was crazy about.”
“I was very public that I thought that President Biden should not run for re-election,” Carville. “But he did — it’s him and Trump.”
“But I’m 1000% behind President Biden,” he added. “He’s the choice I got.”
Carville went on to suggest that the Democrats have a lot of untapped talent in their party, like Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of Brooklyn.
“The under-appreciated thing about the current state of the Democratic Party is there is enormous [talent] – I mean, there’s no Bill Clinton… but … there are any number of current people,” Carville told WABC host John Catsimatidis.
“[Beshear] is a good friend of mine. He’s in a state where the Democrats couldn’t come within 20 points, and he won by 5 or 6 points. There’s so much talent, and a lot of it is young and vigorous and energetic,” said Carville, a Georgia native dubbed the “Ragin Cajun” because of his reputation as a fierce political operative.
“I think Hakeem Jeffries is doing a great job… as [House] leader,” Carville added
“My greatest fear in the United States,” he said, “is that young people are disengaging.”
“I thought that President Biden should consider not running for the election, but that’s not the choice he made. And so, I’ve got to live in the world that I’ve got to live in, not the world I wanted to live in,” the consultant said.
