Democratic strategist James Carville expressed his deep concern about the upcoming election on MSNBC’s “The Beat” Wednesday, stating that he is “scared to death” about the outcome. Carville emphasized that the Harris-Walz campaign needs to revamp its strategy and become more aggressive in the remaining weeks leading up to November 5.
When asked by host Ari Melber if he was in a reflective mood, Carville candidly replied, “I’m not in a particularly reflective mood right now. I’m very concerned.” He attributed his anxiety to the time-sensitive nature of the election, emphasizing that “the election is coming” and that the campaign is running out of time.
Melber sought Carville’s advice on what Harris needs to do in the next month, but Carville countered that the timeframe is even more limited. “We’ve got 26 days left,” he noted, “and we’ve already lost today. With the hurricane, we’ll lose another four days. And after that, everything shuts down before the election.” Carville’s calculations resulted in a mere 18-19 days to effectively communicate the campaign’s message.
He urged the Harris-Walz campaign to adopt a more assertive approach, saying, “They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop answering questions and start asking questions.” Carville firmly believes that the campaign should shift from a passive to an aggressive stance, stating, “I think she and the whole campaign needs to be much more aggressive and much less passive than they are.”
