Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Trump administration charged Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) with assault because of her race. Carville said, “This is my personal opinion, I think they went after her, and I think her race has something to do with it. I’ll just flat out and say that. It’s my point of view.” Host Ari Melber said, “You’re of the view that you’re asserting that the Trump administration or DOJ is targeting her racially. Why do you assert that?” Carville said, “Because that’s what they’re about, and they’re trying to show it’s...

Democratic strategist James Carville on Tuesday urged Democrats to stop using a slew of left-wing words and phrases he said are ineffective, confusing or alienating to voters. Carville, on an April episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast, condemned the phrases “communities of color” and “people of color,” arguing they were “racist” because they suggest all minorities are identical rather than unique. In a Tuesday Politicon video, Carville did not mention these phrases, but rattled off several more terms he believes Democrats should avoid using in political messaging, explaining why they are problematic.

Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed frustration with the state of his party on his podcast Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away with lying while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility. Talking to guest Ryan Lizza, a journalist, he said, “People say to me all the time, ‘James, why don’t we just do like the Republicans do? Just stand up and lie?’ Because our f—ing people wouldn’t stand for it!” Carville said. “If I stood up and lied, you would be the first person to say, ‘James Carville lost all credibility last night when...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that President Donald Trump’s poll numbers are going to get worse. During an appearance on Fox News, political analyst Karl Rove said, “When it comes to the economy, this is where it’s a little trickier, and this is where his numbers have gone south.” Carville said, “So I watch Karl, and he’s exactly right. When you’ve seen a lot of polls like Karl has in his career or I’ve seen or it’s worse than you think when you look at, you know, sometimes you look at a poll and you...

Americans of conscience must stand against this now." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma) warned that "if President Donald Trump's administration can deport Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, they can 'disappear' you.

One was in a very conservative part of my district that voted for Trump,...

Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics. Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.” He added, “Here’s James Carville.” Wednesday on CNN, Carville said, “The most insane thing I ever heard is a Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee is...

Democratic strategist James Carville said that the Democrat Party’s “top agenda” needs to be focused on retrieving deported El Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is accused of being an MS-13 gang member. “People say, ‘Well, should we really fight on this turf or should we fight more on ordinary people?’ This we should fight on. You can’t pivot to an economic issue. This is why we think we’re a country,” Carville said on his “Politics War Room” podcast. Watch

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville wants the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to distance themselves from the party, suggesting a “split” due to “pronoun politics.” “I don’t think we can’t work together on pronoun politics. This election did not teach you how damaging that is. I don’t think there’s anything that I can tell you,” Carville said on the Politics War Room podcast on Tuesday. “And you say, this guy is stuck in another century, not another decade. And he represents nothing to do with the future of our movement. I can accept that. You’re not really going to...

Mr. “It’s the economy, stupid” James Carville is scheming how to exploit the economy for hapless Democrats to use as a political cudgel against President Donald Trump. Carville’s latest guest essay for The New York Times, “How to Turn Trump’s Economic Chaos Against Him,” scrambled to find some silver lining to Congressional Democrats’ political woes, given that they’re currently “underwater” with their own voter base according to Politico March 31. In Carville’s 20th century worldview, Trump violated the “cardinal rule” of American politics by supposedly “destabiliz[ing] the economy” with his tariffs, despite the fact that this was one of his...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Friday his “Politicon” podcast that those who cooperate with President Donald Trump’s administration were comparable to Nazi collaborators in World War II. Carville said, “How disgraced must these law firms feel now? How disgraced must these companies that are sucking up to him – that are giving him tens of millions of dollars for access. Do you know what’s going to happen? Do you know how this ends? Do you know these collaborators, what the country is going to feel towards collaborators with this regime? Maybe you need to go in history and see what...

Saturday, on CNN’s “Smerconish,” longtime Democrat strategist James Carville doubled down on his claim that the Trump administration is trending to “collapse.” Carville had made previous statements about the “end” of the Trump administration but has consistently downplayed it as a political success. “At this rate, the honeymoon, the Trump honeymoon will be over — best case by Memorial Day, but more likely than the next 30 days,” host Michael Smerconish said. “And in November 2025, we start turning the tide with what will be remembered as one of the most important elections in recent years, the Virginia governor’s race....

Democratic strategist James Carville thinks the Trump administration has collapsed in less than three months. During a recent appearance on CNN host Michael Smerconish’s program, Carville declared that President Donald Trump’s second term had become a failure sooner than he predicted it would. "I had no idea. I thought I’d have to wait longer for the imminent collapse. It happened even faster than I could imagine," the former Bill Clinton adviser said. Smerconish brought up the topic, mentioning Carville’s recent prediction in The New York Times that the Trump administration would fall apart. In a February op-ed, Carville advised the...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the cancellation of 5,200 programs that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had been supporting before it was put under his jurisdiction, saying "these programs spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, and in some cases even harmed, the core national interests of the United States. The remaining 1,000 or so programs that will be continued will be more effectively administered by the Department of State." "I want to thank DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform,"...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on “The Chris Cuomo Project” podcast that he believed President Donald Trump’s second term is the most “serious crisis” the United States has ever faced. Carville said, “I think right now, and I’m going be very serious — I’m 80 years old — I think this is the most serious crisis that this country has ever faced. I think the entire idea of the United States is in jeopardy. I really do. I think it’s fundamentally that profound a problem. And I think if the Democrats act clever and determined, understand where they stand...

Democratic strategist James Carville declared Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that the Trump administration was “in total meltdown.” Carville said, “Total meltdown!’ Carville said, “I think people are afraid to death. They see markets collapsing! They see people calling Mark Kelly a traitor. They see disorder everywhere. You know, Trump was going to bring the price of eggs down from day one.” He continued, “We can’t call the Enola Gay, the Enola Gay. I mean, what’s coming out of Washington would scare the living bejesus out of anybody, independent, Republican or Democrat. This administration is in total meltdown,...

Republican strategist Karl Rove said President Trump’s claims that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has discovered “hundreds of billions” in government “fraud” will backfire when Democrats spotlight a lack of prosecutions of those involved. During an appearance on Fox News’s “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy,” Rove echoed Democratic strategist James Carville’s sentiment that Democrats should “allow the Republicans to crumble beneath their own weight.” In his joint address to Congress last week, Trump criticized the “appalling waste” in government spending, while praising DOGE head and tech billionaire Elon Musk for discovering “hundreds of billions of dollars of...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville criticized Democrats for their reactions to President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress on Tuesday, describing their behavior as "foolishness" on Wednesday. Carville expressed his disappointment with Democrats' messaging after Trump's speech, claiming that the Democratic Party needs to pinpoint members who excel at getting the party's message out, such as freshman Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. "Democrats want to believe that everyone is equal, or we're inclusive, so everybody — when it turns to communicating the party's message, in the image of the party, some people are just better than other people, okay?" Carville stated...

Fact check: Carville predicted Kamala Harris would defeat Trump for the presidency last November. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash) said "billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump are proving every single day they do not know what they are doing. They are cutting expenditures that experts have declared are vital to our national interests. They are firing employees who lifetime employment rights have been guaranteed. They will soon have a mutiny on their hands." Sen. Amy Klobuchar...

Zelensky’s Oval Office meeting with President Trump and Vice President JD Vance went sideways as soon as he became defiant and tried taking control of the negotiations. Trump and Vance absolutely lit Zelensky up as he folded his arms and tried to lecture the United States. “Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” Vance said.
