From Fox News: Democratic strategist James Carville broke down why he thought Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election with CNN host Michael Smerconish on Saturday.
Smerconish referenced a reader’s comment reacting to Carville’s New York Times op-ed from Thursday, “This is from The New York Times: ‘Character, honesty, decency, intelligence, democracy. None of these seem to matter in our country when electing a president.’ I think that pretty much says it all. You would say what to that person?”
Carville replied, “Well, first of all, I totally agree with that person,” adding, “Michael, there‘s the simple, basic rule of politics is voters want an election about them. They don’t want an election about you or your opponent. And for too much, we lost that. I lost it myself. We made it about Trump and we didn‘t make it about voters.”
Carville was predicting a Harris win before the election, even writing a separate op-ed for the Times headlined, “Three Reasons I’m Certain Kamala Harris Will Win.”
“How could I, at 80 years old, been doing this for 50 years, lapse into that level of stupidity?” Carville admitted.
James Carville admits to CNN that Democrats lost the election because they “made it about Trump and didn’t make it about voters.”
Many Dems still haven’t learned this lesson and continue to blame everything on Trump even though it’s been Biden in charge.pic.twitter.com/fKWqzaGd2R

“Now what I am going to educate myself on is how people receive information. I don’t think Democrats fully appreciate that,” Carville said later in the interview.
However, he then proved that he still doesn’t get it, as he launched into blaming voters for Kamala Harris’ loss. He noted that the Republican Party utilized ‘alternative media,’ and declared, “I want to know where these people are getting this goofy information from. And there‘s so much misinformation and you just can‘t correct it all.”
Carville blamed Republicans for focusing on the border crisis, and slammed people for believing that illegal aliens were coming to take American jobs.
“People thought we had disorder at the border. People thought it was disorder in pricing and inflation. People thought incorrectly. I would argue that that was crime,” he bizarrely claimed.
