Democratic strategist James Carville is arguing that former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama should play roles in selecting choices to replace President Biden as the party’s nominee if the incumbent ends his reelection bid.
Carville said in an op-ed in The New York Times on Monday that he expects Biden will drop out of the 2024 race, saying it will only take time before the president will bow to pressure from Democrats and public and private polling. He also wrote that the sooner this happens, the better.
But Carville said the Democratic Party should not choose to automatically nominate Vice President Harris or another prominent Democrat to replace him.
“We’ve got to do it out in the open — the exact opposite of what Donald Trump wants us to do,” Carville said. “For the first time in his life, Mr. Trump is praying. To win the White House and increase his chances of avoiding an orange jumpsuit, he needs Democrats to make the wrong moves in the coming days — namely, to appear to rig the nomination for a fading president or the sitting vice president or some other heir apparent.”
Biden has remained adamant that he does not plan to drop out despite public and private calls for him to do so following last month’s debate with former President Trump. The public calls have come from a handful of Democratic officeholders so far.
The former head of Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential run, Carville said he wants to build on the “mini primary” that Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Times opinion columnist Ezra Klein have called for. He said Democrats should hold four town halls, one in each region of the country, between now and the start of the Democratic National Convention in mid-August.

That’s all America needs; a sex deviate and an avowed Marxist making political decisions for the Dems.............
In Hong Kong.
Mostly other Stooges who something for nothing.
Remember the deep state has the biden kill switch. All they have to do is release anything bad (fake or real)
Mostly other Stooges who WANT something for nothing.
Or,slip him the red pill...with love from all the gang.
Well carville is right about one thing - the two former dem presidents - along with others -will have an active role in naming Biden”s replacement. But picking is one thing. Carrying it out is another.
As Obama is calling the shots (or his team) it makes a great deal of sense to have them find his replacement. Must Be, I believe deep down....
A. Charismatic speaker.
B. Young Looking and Vibrant—does sports of some type.
C. No Baggage widely known, can be a womanizer but not overly so. Should be married to an equally young looking spouse.
D. Must have children—even if only one child that looks cute.
E. Must have some political experience, a Mayor at least, best a Governor or Senator or a Congressman. ( Military generalship will also work—but he must be a winner).
Good Luck finding your person!
Car-vile is the snake Trump is always talking about.
If the polls that show Biden within a mere few percentage points are accurate, why are they so desperate to change out their puppet dictator?
Clearly the internal polls are much worse than what we are seeing.
careful. she could beat trump.
america is that stupid.
Is Carville trying to prepare the way for Hilliary to run again? Probably!
The Dems won’t listen to Carville. He’s just an old white guy.
Like they weren’t already on it . . .
Joey is negotiating the deal before he steps down.
We don’t need no stinking primary election to allow Democrat voters to choose the Democrat nominee!
We get to unilaterally decide who it is because we believe in democracy!
Exactly! The DNC is full of primary election deniers!
It is elder abuse. How dare they push an elderly man out of what he earned fair and square.
Good grief - I just left the other thread about that woman...getting ready to hang it up for the night and I thought I could escape seeing that name before I shut everything down....have fun, folks.
Come to think of it - she’d be a good match for Carville. Is he still married to the conservative Mary Matalin. That poor brave woman!!!!!!
Jill has sure gotten into the campaign mood. When has she ever campaigned alone????? She wants the job. She’s hitting that circuit like she’s done it all her life...
I guess she’s coming to GA - must already be here. Will have to turn on local news - waiting for the ballgame from AZ to start anyway. She was in NC, then FL - then GA? I think if I was going to go to FL from NC, I would stop in GA on the way......
