Carville: ‘Very, very concerned’ about election in wake of hurricanes
BY SARAH FORTINSKY - 10/10/24 11:21 AM ET
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday he’s
concerned time is running out for the Harris campaign to drive a message
to voters ahead of Election Day, especially as the hurricanes dominate the
news cycle this week.
“The only thing I feel is, the election is coming Nov. 5. I’m scared to
death,” Carville said on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber” when asked
how he feels about an unrelated documentary, which showcases the
strategist’s decades-long role in Democratic politics.
“Not in a particularly reflective mood right now,” he continued. “I’m very,
very concerned and very scared.”
Carville estimated Vice President Harris has fewer than 20 days to drive a
message to voters, counting 26 days until the election and noting, “Today
is gone. You’re going to lose four to the hurricane … and everything kind
of shuts down the Saturday before the election.”
“So you’re really probably under 20 days that you have to really get a
message out,” he added.
Carville said the Harris campaign needs to be more aggressive in driving a
message and go on the offensive more as the election fast approaches.
“They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop
answering questions and start asking questions. They’re doing all this and
sitting down with ’60 Minutes’ and sitting down with [Stephen] Colbert
and sitting down with this,” Carville said. “No matter what, if I come on
your show, you’re going to ask me the questions. If I have a press
conference, I get to ask the questions.”
Carville did not say whether he wants to see Harris do more press
conferences when Melber followed up to clarify the suggestion.
But the 79-year-old said the Harris campaign should directly respond to
what he described as false claims from the Trump-Vance ticket, including
by deploying former Presidents Obama and Clinton to do so. He
mentioned Sen. JD Vance’s (R-Ohio) recent claim at the vice presidential
debate that former President Trump saved ObamaCare as an example of
an incorrect claim that the Harris team could combat.
“I’d like for her to put more things in play,” Carville said, when asked
whether he wants to see more press conferences from Harris, “where
she’s out saying, ‘What is JD Vance talking about that Trump saved
ObamaCare? He tried to destroy it at every point.’ I would put President
Obama out to make that; he’s only got at 92 percent approval with
Democrats.”
“I would have President Clinton talking, going on these local TV stations
talking about how tariffs are going to destroy the economy of Wisconsin
or Michigan or anywhere else because they have never worked,” he
continued.
“But we’re just letting that go. And I think she and the whole campaign
needs to be much more aggressive and much less passive than they are.”

Already listened to Carville this morning on the
hurricanes.
What he's worried about is how many dangerous lies
Trump and his cronies are telling people people that
could get them hurt or killed.
He's like a faucet of lies and doesn't care who it
hurts as long as he thinks it might hurt his enemies.
Carville is right about getting people out there right
now and giving them straight facts. We know how
gullible the maga base is.
And just like Trump doesn't care how many real
americans he hurts while spreading lies about Biden and
Harris, if elected..he won't care how many he hurts to
take revenge on anyone who didn't support him or vote
for him.
That includes you, OT. You're very under-the-bus-able
in a second.
We've read the articles already. You would only receive
aid if you're from a red state under Trump (and even
then it's iffy if he wants that money for anything
else, or doesn't just do away with FEMA all together).
The warnings are there for all Americans in the way
both candidates are behaving both now and in the past.
Harris needs to continue to contrast those behaviors
and warnings.
Bottom line: Harris (and Biden the actual President)
are concerned for Americans.
Trump is only concerned for himself and winning, no
matter how many Americans that hurts.
