In Democratic circles, few voices carry as much weight as strategist James Carville, and his latest remarks may reshape the party’s 2028 outlook. On his Politics War Room podcast, Carville delivered a blunt assessment of Vice President Kamala Harris’s future, insisting she will not be a factor in the next presidential race. “Anybody that had anything to do with 2024, the party wants to move on from that,” he said, adding that Harris wisely avoided a gubernatorial run and should not expect another presidential chance.
Carville extended this warning to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris’s 2024 running mate, making clear that Democrats are ready to close the book on that campaign. His comments echo a broader sentiment within the party that 2024 represented not a narrow loss but a failed chapter requiring fresh leadership.
Carville’s co-host, Al Hunt, added that Joe Biden should fully retire, reflecting growing calls for generational change. Meanwhile, rising figures like Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom are positioning themselves for 2028, while Maryland Governor Wes Moore has ruled out a run. The message is unmistakable: Democrats are preparing to turn the page.
