Longtime Dem Strategist Urges Party to Dump Biden, Stating it's Exactly What Trump Wants

James Carville, a veteran Democratic strategist, has issued a stern warning to his party, urging them to abandon President Biden as their nominee and find a more viable candidate. Carville believes that clinging to Biden is precisely what former President Donald Trump wants and that the party should take immediate action to avoid another electoral defeat.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville has sounded the alarm, warning that the party's current status quo with President Biden as their nominee benefits the Republican nominee they seek to stop. During an appearance on MSNBC, Carville expressed deep concern about Biden's candidacy and proposed a bold solution to the perceived threat it poses to the party's electoral prospects.

Carville's call for a change in leadership was prompted by a report indicating that the Trump campaign is eager to face Biden in the upcoming election. Seizing upon this insight, Carville argued that by standing by Biden, the Democratic Party is inadvertently playing into Trump's hands.

"If the Democratic Party is hellbent on pleasing Donald Trump, then go ahead and [run Biden]. It's just that simple," Carville stated.

Carville's critique extended to the Washington establishment within the party, accusing them of quibbling over the details of his proposed town halls to find a replacement candidate. He implored them to take decisive action rather than passively standing by.

"The details are, we are on track to lose an election to a major criminal who is going to destroy the western alliance, the constitution and everything in between. So we ought to act like it," he argued.

Carville's analysis found support among some Democratic Party elites, including Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries, who he believes are "mortified" by the current situation. He suggested that they are seeking a change and recognize the perilous path the party is on.

The strategist reiterated his criticism of the Democratic establishment for clinging to what he saw as a losing tactic that benefits Trump, despite the lack of fully developed plans for a more viable candidate.

"Think about it. You know exactly what Donald Trump wants us to do. You know precisely what Steve Bannon wants us to do, and we're hellbent on pleasing them," he said. "I think it's a big mistake. I thought it was. I still do. I'm highly unlikely to change my mind because of some namby-pamby technical reasons about how you put a town hall together."

In addition to his concerns about Biden's candidacy, Carville also raised the issue of dwindling donor support for the party. He claimed that major donors are cutting off contributions to Biden's campaign and to the Democratic committees, a development he characterized as an "underappreciated story" with significant implications for the party's electoral chances.

Carville concluded by emphasizing the urgency of the situation, urging the Democratic Party to act swiftly to find a more viable candidate to challenge Trump in the election. He believes that the party's current course is a recipe for electoral disaster and that it must take bold steps to avoid it.
