Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville has issued one of his bluntest warnings yet about his party’s future. On his Politics War Room podcast, Carville declared Vice President Kamala Harris effectively finished in presidential politics after 2024. “Anybody that had anything to do with 2024, the party wants to move on from that,” he said flatly, adding Harris should not expect another shot at the presidency.
Carville’s critique didn’t stop there. He extended his remarks to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris’s 2024 running mate, insisting Democrats are determined to bury that failed ticket. According to Carville, Harris was right not to run for governor, but her national ambitions are over.
The sharp assessment mirrors frustration across the Democratic base, where many see 2024 as a political disaster that cannot be repeated. Carville’s co-host, Al Hunt, echoed the sentiment, suggesting Joe Biden should retire completely to allow the party to move forward.
Meanwhile, names like Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom are rising, and Maryland Governor Wes Moore has already bowed out. Carville’s message is unmistakable: Harris’s time has passed, and Democrats want a clean slate for 2028.
