James Carville on Monday unleashed an expletive-laden rant on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) over his reported meeting with Jared Kushner, who has made a fortune as the son-in-law of President Donald Trump and is U.S. special envoy for peace. The longtime Democratic strategist noted in a video for Politicon that Jeffries is a “friend” and “smart guy” who surely understands that Democrats have different opinions on “a whole variety of subjects” and policies, before truly laying into him. “On one thing, there is no disagreement,” Carville said. “There’s unanimity. And it is simply this: In the opinion of...

Longtime Democratic pundit James Carville is firing back at recent jabs from a socialist candidate running to unseat a mainstream Democratic congressman in Tuesday's primary elections in Florida. After Oliver Larkin told Fox News this past weekend that "it may be time" for Carville "to take a back seat, to people with fresh ideas," the strategist who first gained national attention as one of the masterminds behind former President Bill Clinton's 1992 White House victory shot back. Referring to Larkin, who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Carville told Fox News Digital he "has the attribute...

Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democratic primary election for one of Michigan's US Senate seats. Self-identified Marxist Hasan Piker denounced the 51% of Democrats who did not vote for El-Sayed, calling them "unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of s**t." Long-time Democrat strategist James Carville expressed his disappointment that "communists and antisemites are trying to take over the Democratic Party. I am NOT going to be in the same party as Hasan Piker! His idea that the Democratic Socialists are going to seize the means of production is what Lenin did in Russia a 100 years ago. It led to widespread poverty, secret...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville argued Sunday that former President Joe Biden’s refusal to drop out of the 2024 election earlier caused lasting damage to his party. "So, the reason the Democratic Party is in the shape it is, is because Joe Biden wouldn't get out until July the 21st of the election year, alright?" Carville said on his "Politics War Room" podcast. "Had Joe Biden gotten out in October of 2023, we would have a Democratic president. Don't kid yourself." "And by the way, all the people on the left who say the Democrats don't fight hard enough never...

Political strategist James Carville offered a series of harsh criticisms against the far-left Democrats taking aim at their own party in the ongoing primaries, while calling the candidates’ ongoing cannibalization of longtime incumbents “part of the problem.” In a blistering video, Friday, for his “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville blasted the nationwide sweep of far-left and Democratic Socialist primary election victories, while calling certain candidates “part of the problem” within the party. “These people are so f------ stupid I don’t know what to say about it,” Carville said. “So now we have this idea that these insurgent Democrats — and...

Democratic socialist candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier won a shocking primary victory in New York, but veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is not celebrating. The socialist backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who won Tuesday night’s primary election in New York’s 13th Congressional District, has made a career out of “community organizing,” and has a history of controversies, including having founded a group in college that called for the “total eradication of Western civilization.” NewsNation interviewed Carville on Thursday for his response to multiple far-left candidates winning in New York. While he downplayed some of the panic as essentially...

Democratic strategist James Carville doubled down on his prediction that President Donald Trump will be leaving office by spring, insisting it’s not a “crazy a*s” idea. In a video for Politicon on Wednesday, Carville pushed back on critics who think he predicted Trump’s resignation simply for attention. “People said, oh, that’s very clever, you got a lot of pick up. You know, you like to say kinda crazy a*s things,” he said. “I want to very clear on something. I’m not doing this as a crazy a*s prediction, I’m going that because I genuinely think that he will resign next...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville compared supporting Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner to the United States allying with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin during World War II. Carville praised Platner for his military service, contrasting it with other politicians, saying, “He’s f—ed up, he’s been shot at, he’s a veteran, he’s a little bit weird, he’s an oysterman.” “Then his opponent, I can hardly say her name without the utter contempt dripping, Susan Collins, whose spine reminds me of a blueberry jelly from Maine,” he said. “Maybe we need a combat veteran right on that Senate floor who is f—ed up.”...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host spoke on Thursday about the dangers of Democrats falling for the same far-left rhetoric that weighed them down in past elections. Throughout the 2024 election and long afterward, Carville has continually told his fellow liberals and Democrats to steer clear of divisive identity politics and radical social agendas, warning that they alienate voters and simply aren’t viable policy. He and his co-host, Al Hunt, highlighted Texas congressional candidate Bobby Pulido for his rhetoric across the board during their podcast. Pulido has been widely quoted for offering an explanation to fellow Democrats as...

"Politics War Room" James Carville and Al Hunt speculated on whether Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., may switch parties and throw Democrats’ Senate plans in disarray. As Carville and Hunt took questions from listeners, one asked why Fetterman, who has been known for taking surprisingly bipartisan stances, doesn’t just go all the way and switch parties. "I am not a big Fetterman fan," Carville said, declaring he thinks Fetterman is often motivated by wanting to see his name featured in newspapers. "He may switch, because they are going to correctly say if he wants to run again – I don’t know,...

TRANSCRIPT: CARVILLE: “I want to be clear on this. I do not want that man to die. I want to — I want to watch him suffer and I can’t watch a dead person suffer. So I want him to be fully cognizant come November so when people tell him.”

Democratic strategist James Carville got blunt about why the Democratic Party remains unpopular on Monday, telling MS NOW host Ari Melber it was because they haven't won elections. Melber noted polling published this month by CNN/SSRS that found just 28% of Americans have a favorable view of the Democratic Party, compared to 32% who have a favorable view of the Republican Party. Melber asked Carville whether this was troubling as the party looks to take back Congress in November. "No," Carville responded. "The reason that people don't like the Democratic Party is the same reason I don't like it right...

Democratic strategist James Carville admitted members of his party struggle to resonate with young, male voters during a conversation with sports broadcaster Stephen A. Smith on Wednesday. On his "Politics War Room" podcast, Carville asked Smith how the Democratic Party could better reach the demographic. "I'm a Democrat," Carville said. "We do not know how to communicate with young men." "You might be the best person in the world communicating with young men," he told Smith. "Give advice to Democratic strategists… how do we reconnect with young men? What should we be doing?"

James Carville, known as the "Ragin Cajun" for his raucous demeanor, claimed every member of Trump’s administration except top adviser Stephen Miller "hates" him.

"However bad you think this is, however much you see people in your own inner circle, in your military, in your staff, in your Congress, attorney on you, it's just starting," Carville said. "You know how miserable you're going to be in November? You know, how f---ing miserable you are? Tens of millions of American people get a chance to tell...

Former Democratic strategist James Carville has predicted a 'wipeout' for Republicans at the 2026 midterms. On Saturday, Carville forecast a startling loss for Republicans in the upcoming midterms, with Democrats managing to pick up a 'minimum' of 25 seats and likely regain control of the Senate. 'Frankly, it's going to be a wipeout,' Carville told Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America. 'Your viewers need to know that the Democrats are going to pick up at a minimum 25 seats, maybe as high as 45. In all likelihood, the Democrats will carry the Senate.'

Thursday on the “Politicon” podcast, Democratic strategist James Carville said Charlie Kirk “was not a pimple” on filmmaker Rob Reiner’s ass. While discussing Reiner’s legacy, Carville said, “Charlie Kirk, there was this thing, some kindergarten teachers forwarded some things he said about women. I would urge anybody to look at that. And they fired, you know, fired him. Okay, I’m sorry, I don’t want anybody to get shot. He had young kids. I hate that, but Charlie Kirk was not a pimple on Rob Reiner’s *ss when it comes to influence, and it comes to impact when it comes to...

Emboldened by Tuesday’s encouraging election results, veteran political strategist James Carville said he would “bet money” that Democrats will not only win the presidency in 2028, but then proceed to pack the Supreme Court to ensure permanent one party rule. While taking questions during Thursday’s installment of he and co-host Al Hunt’s “Politics War Room,” one listener asked how the Biden Administration could have prepared for “the possibility of Trump winning a second term.” While Hunt argued in favor of new legislation and guardrails, Carville gleefully predicted that the next Democrat president will fundamentally redefine American government. “I’m going to...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville caused outrage and renewed partisan tensions this week after remarks in which he described a “fantasy” scenario of public humiliation for supporters of President Donald Trump and institutions that align with him. The comments came during an appearance on the podcast Politics War Room with co-host Al Hunt, and quickly drew attention for their provocative imagery and historical reference points. Carville accused Trump of being a “tin-pot tyrant” with “no use for democracy” and warned that companies, universities and law firms who “bend the knee” to his agenda will face more than political consequences —...

In California, US Rep. Robert Garcia announced that "the House Democrats on the Oversight Committee are establishing a 'Master ICE Tracker' that will help our Antifa street fighters locate where immigrants are being arrested and allow them to intervene and prevent the deportation of the folks invited into our country by former President Biden." Apple and Facebook have removed similar ICE trackers from their platforms lest they be held liable for damages in any violent confrontations enabled by their ICE trackers. Garcia explained his strategy, saying "with the government shutdown there is no money to pay the ICE agents that...
