Prominent Democratic Party strategist James Carville is claiming that "leading Democrats" have been telling him to hush up about President Biden’s difficult prospects for winning re-election in 2024.
In an article about Rep. Dean Phillips’, D-Minn., newly announced bid to primary Biden, The Atlantic spoke to Carville about his belief that the current president’s chances has a high mountain to climb as he seeks re-election.
The strategist disclosed that Biden’s numbers are "not good" and added Democrats are trying to get him to stop talking about it, not because he’s wrong, but because the idea is upsetting, he suggested.
Carville added that when he tells Democratic leaders that Biden is in trouble, they don’t disagree with him, they just tell him to keep it to himself. "Nobody is saying, ‘James, you’re wrong,’" he said. "They’re saying, ‘James, you can’t say that.’"
Carville told the outlet, "I’m looking at polling data, and I’m looking at all of it. The president’s numbers are just not good—and they’re not getting any better."
Carville, who has spoken to Phillips about his ambitions to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee, bolstered his claim, saying, "I talk to a lot of people who do a lot of congressional-level polling and state polling, and they’re all saying the same thing. There’s not an outlier; there’s not another opinion… The question is, has the country made up its mind?"
As a counterpoint, The Atlantic offered the perspective of former Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina, who has been trying to reassure Democrats worried about Biden’s re-election prospects since the president officially launched his campaign.
Messina’s point was that "Biden’s already beaten Trump once. He’s the one guy who can beat him again."
However, Carville told the outlet he wasn’t buying that logic.

Here is the question, what if the people doing the cheating decide it’s not worth the effort? Most crooks are practical, If criminally doesn’t pay, they will do something else.
The Democrats just have to keep up a narrative that the race is close in order to provide cover for the cheating. They will use reliable polling data to determine how much cheating is required.
ix nay on the olls pay
the lection eay is in the ag bay
Biden won’t be the candidate in 2024, but you already knew that!
Michelle will win 2024 leading the ticket, then she’ll shortly default to the VP (whoever that is)...
There is such a thing as the margin of fraud. Despite what some of the Doom Mongers here say, you cannot steal an unlimited number of votes without it becoming so obvious that even your own cheerleaders can’t deny it with a straight face.
1% maybe even 2% here or there can be done. Indeed it clearly was done last time.
When margins get to be 5%.....7% as we’re seeing in some of the Swing States, that’s just impossible to steal and have it be remotely credible to anyone.
They have nobody else. None of their proposed alternatives is as popular as Biden.
Big Mike hates politics and despite the fluffery of the corporate media, has zero charisma. If he had to get out and start campaigning, people would see that in about 5 seconds. Everybody hates Heels up Harris and Slick Gavin aka American Psycho does not sell at all in the Midwest or the South. The same goes for Buttplug.
If you’re a Democrat and you have Gollum telling you there are problems, you REALLY have problems. Evil he may be, but stupid he is not.
I’d like to tell him to shut up myself.
“Biden’s already beaten Trump once. He’s the one guy who can beat him again.”
“Beat” and “cheat” rhyme. Just sayin’...
I agree it can’t be done again but 2020 Trump was winning by much more than 1 or 2 percent in the swing states where vote counting was shut down for the night. He may have had trouble in North Carolina but a true loss by those margins in all those states is simply statistically not possible.
Dems just LOVE to kill the messengers ...
The White House is like Weekend at Bernie’s at Carville isn’t playing along with the plan.
Why? The fake ballot printers and mules don’t care what he has to say.
Carville is pretending we still have free and fair elections.
I think that’s the real reason they want Carville to shut up. He is helping drive the disapproval numbers too far down.
It’s getting so bad, Biden may be forced to bow out. Certainly Newsom is betting on it.
There telling him to shut up about the numbers because
“They got this”
That means we the people aren’t going to get a say.
The polls will tighten on queue, the fix is feverishly being worked on or is already locked in.
Our mission impossible, if we chose to accept it, will be to expose and stop the cheat before the voting starts.
“Here is the question, what if the people doing the cheating decide it’s not worth the effort? Most crooks are practical, If criminally doesn’t pay, they will do something else.”
You make a good point. However, once the mechanism is in place to cheat without consequence, you no longer have to work at it. Look at Obama in 2012. He was so confident that he was going to be reelected, he just phoned it in. Same with Biden in 2020. Biden hid in his basement for six months, not bothering to do more than the minimum.
That doesn’t happen unless you already know the outcome.
