In a surprising turn of events, long-time Democrat political strategist, James Carville, spilled the beans during an interview on WABC’s “The Cat’s Roundtable” about his doubts on President Joe Biden’s decision to run for re-election in 2024. Carville, known for his sharp political instincts, expressed some serious regrets about Biden’s choice.
During his chat with WABC host John Catsimatidis, Carville hinted at a backup plan for the Democratic Party in case Biden found himself unable to run for a second term. He mentioned a slew of potential candidates from various states like Pennsylvania, Maryland, and even threw in a shoutout to the Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, whom he praised as “one of the most talented people” he’s ever seen.

Carville made it clear that Biden’s decision didn’t sit well with him, suggesting that the President should have taken a step back and let the other “young and vigorous” members of the Democratic Party shine. Although he didn’t call out specific names to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings, he seemed to have a particular admiration for the up-and-coming talent within the party.
Despite his disappointment, Carville acknowledged that Biden’s choice to run again was something he had to accept, even if it wasn’t the outcome he had hoped for. It appears that Carville is gearing up to navigate the political landscape in the world he’s been dealt, rather than the one he had envisioned.
It seems like even seasoned political strategists like Carville can have their doubts about the decisions made by top leaders. With the 2024 election looming, it will be interesting to see how things unfold within the Democratic Party and whether Biden’s choice will prove to be a winning strategy or a missed opportunity. Stay tuned for more political drama as it unfolds!
