James Carville is worried — big time.
While speaking to MSNBC’s Ari Melber on Wednesday, political analyst and former Clinton adviser James Carville said he was “scared to death” over the Kamala Harris’ strategy with just 26 days left until Election Day.
“You’re not in a reflective mood?” the Melber asked Carville.
“Not in a particularly reflective mood right now. I’m very, very concerned,” Carville replied.
Melber pressed: “What does Harris need to do with the month left?”
“She doesn’t have a month left. We’ve got 26 days,” Carville told Melber. “Today is gone. You’re going to lose four to the hurricane. Just subtract that. We’re going to get blank — you’re not going to get much out for the next four days. And everything, kind of, shuts down the Saturday before the election, so you’re really probably under 20 days that you have to really get a message out.”
“They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop answering questions and start asking questions,” Carville added. “They’re doing all this and sitting down with ’60 Minutes’ and sitting down with [Stephen] Colbert … no matter what, if I come on your show, you will ask me the questions. If I have a press conference, I get to ask the questions.”
Carville said former President Barack Obama should go after the Trump-Vance ticket about recent comments JD Vance made claiming Trump “saved Obamacare.”
“I would put President Obama out to make that [challenge]. … He only is the author, the father of 23 million people having insurance,” he continued. “I would have President Clinton going on these local TV stations talking about how tariffs are going to destroy the economy of Wisconsin or Michigan.”
“But we’re just letting that go,” Carville said. “And I think she and the whole campaign need to be much more aggressive and much less passive than they are.”
