James Carville says Biden’s exit is ‘inevitable’: ‘Everyone knows what’s going on here’

James Carville believes President Joe Biden will “make the right decision” – and withdraw from the 2024 race.

The Democratic strategist joined a growing chorus of insiders calling on Biden to drop out of this year’s presidential race. After publication an op-ed in The New York Times to that end, he appeared on NewsNation on Monday to explain his reasoning.

’50 million people saw that so-called debate’ he told Cuomo. “Everyone knows what’s going on here. … We’ve seen our parents go through it, our grandparents, our aunts and uncles and neighbors and relatives. This is all a matter of time.”

Biden performed poorly during last month’s televised debate, wandering and losing his train of thought. A CNN flash poll after the event showed that 67% of viewers attended thought Trump performed better. The White House recently denied reports that Biden has been seen by a Parkinson’s disease specialist.

“He will come to the conclusion that this is just not a good idea, and he will oppose it, and he will listen to his family,” he told Cuomo. “It’s all the same: we blame the staff, then the media, and then it’s ‘the elites’ in the Democratic Party.”

When Carville was reminded that Biden is currently still refusing to resign, he was unconvinced.

“I’m just telling you it’s inevitable,” the strategist told Cuomo. “He will come to the conclusion. People will convey the message to him. He will understand. His family will understand. They will pray about it and make the right decision.”

Carville reportedly warned Democratic donors last week against moving forward with Biden.

The 79-year-old suggested in his editorial Monday that the Democratic Party is holding four town halls before the national convention in August, and that former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are “facilitating” these televised discussions to select a new front-runner.

“It is better to ask forgiveness than permission,” Carville told Cuomo about the naming of Clinton and Obama. “I’m just throwing an idea out there. I’m just trying to encourage what we’re doing now: having a conversation about the future. A future without a criminal president.”
