Carville calls socialist's victory in NYC mayoral primary a 'potentially damaging event' for Democratic Party

Veteran strategist warns Zohran Mamdani's win could damage party nationwide after shocking defeat of Andrew Cuomo

Veteran strategist James Carville warned on Wednesday how democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayoral primary may be a burden for the Democratic Party.

Mamdani, a Ugandan-born New York State Assemblyman from Queens, caused a major upset by defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the race to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for New York City mayor. Republicans and some Democrats have blasted Mamdani, warning he is a grim sign of America’s political future.

Carville, one of the most famous strategists in American politics, has been speaking about the Democratic Party’s need to ditch far-left politics since well before the 2024 election. He spoke about Mamdani's surprising victory on his podcast, warning it may be yet another hurdle for struggling Democrats.

The strategist noted that Mamdani "has not walked back" calls for "global infitada" [sic]. Carville was referencing how Mamdani refused to disavow the phrase "Globalize the intifada," which pro-Israeli supporters argue is a call for violence, and Israel opponents tout as a mere call to struggle against oppression.

"Maybe he’ll turn out to be a very skilled candidate that can skillfully navigate some of what I refer to as ‘esoteric’ positions," Carville said, appearing to refer to Mamdani’s policy of government-run grocery stores, which bewildered the seasoned strategist.

The Democrat party wants to remain the party of the administrative deep state, full of experts.

It doesn’t want to be the party of outright socialist state control. State ownership over the means of production.

Nobody gives a fig what James Carville thinks about anything. He's utterly irrelevant. His time was up a LONG time ago.

It’s the logical evolution of the dim party. They’re recognizing they are indeed socialists.

When the moronic NY voters would have been better off voting for Carville,
then you know New York is far beyond doomed. The place is already a Hellhole -
it should be almost interesting to watch it, amazingly, get even WORSE.

The Cajun snakehead needs to accept that the younger Dims are dumber and more radical than even Obama, and this is not the party of Kennedy and Clinton anymore. The boomers might have an occasional win, like when they dumped Hogg, but the young, active supporters will eventually oust Carville and his cohort.

For once I actually agree with Carville.

The Koran is nothing more than a field manual for waging war against the rest of the world.

Carville is totally correct. This guy was voted for by free loaders. If it keeps going this way, they are done.

If more than an third of NYC Democrats had bothered to show up and vote, then it is possible there would have been a different outcome. There were better candidates than Mamdani. I don’t know any of them except for Cuomo, but I am guessing that any one of them would have been an improvement over Mamdani.

Personally? I hope that the Socialist Democrats KEEP going to the left...until they fall off a CLIFF and are relegated to the Trash Bin of History!

The real problem for the Democrats is what we have all known. The NYC race has always been the known landing point of the Democrat Party. Look at LA and Portland. What Carville is actually bemoaning is that Democrats will no longer be able to hide who they really are and what their intent is.

"Potentially damaging event" for the Democrat Party? - It's a signature event for the Democrat Party. The man is a foreign Marxist, fully supported by all the other wealthy foreign Marxists in New York City.

What does anyone think the Democrats mean when they openly refer to themselves as Democrat Socialists?

Poor Jim. He spent the 1990s creating a winning centrist Democrat coalition that is being pulled sharply left and destroyed in his old age.
