James Carville, the veteran Democratic strategist behind Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory, has delivered a blunt message that’s causing waves in the party. He believes former Vice President Kamala Harris faces long odds in any future presidential bid.
Carville’s opinion carries weight. Few strategists have seen more political rises and falls than him.
On his Politics War Room podcast, Carville said Harris is unlikely to play a role in the 2028 Democratic nomination fight, despite speculation after she declined to run for California governor.
He argued that Democrats want to move past the 2024 election, where Harris, despite major support, fell short. “Anybody that had anything to do with 2024, the party wants to move on,” Carville explained.
