James Carville Explains His Wrong Prediction About The Presidential Election
HuffPost
The longtime Democratic strategist famously published a New York Times editorial in October titled, "Three Reasons I'm Certain Kamala Harris Will Win."
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is once again admitting he was wrong about Vice President Kamala Harris defeating President Donald Trump in last year’s election, but is also now sharing why he was so convinced of a Democratic victory in the first place.
“The polls looked even, alright?” Carville told Fox News Digital in an interview Wednesday. “I thought Harris had more money. She also had more storefront locations, she had more doorknockers, definitely had better surrogates with two ex-presidents out there.”
“Trump was going around with Scott Baio or something … And I thought a combination of all of that would be worth a point and a half,” he continued. “It was not.”
Carville helped former President Bill Clinton win the 1992 election and became a respected strategist for decades to come, but also advised former secretaries of state John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, who respectively lost the election or nomination in 2004 and 2008.
The 80-year-old strategist argued in September that the race between Trump and Harris didn’t “feel” like one she would lose, and fully committed the next month to his prediction with a New York Times op-ed titled, “Three Reasons I’m Certain Kamala Harris Will Win.”
