James Carville, affectionately known as the Ragin’ Cajun, has thrown the gauntlet down on President Joe Biden’s presidency. The longtime Democratic strategist suggests that if Biden wants to avoid a humiliating defeat in the next election, he should step aside and make way for a new candidate through a mini-primary spectacle. It’s astonishing, really, to see Democrats in such disarray that they’re now contemplating a grand reality TV-style showdown to find their next nominee.
Carville, always the showman, insists that the replacement process be anything but ordinary. He proposes that former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton handpick a slate of candidates who would then be paraded around the country in town halls reminiscent of a high-stakes game show. This is perhaps the Democrats’ latest attempt to mask their dysfunction with a veneer of democratic participation, which is rich coming from the party known for backroom deals and superdelegate shenanigans.
Washington Examiner: James Carville says Democrats will lose presidency unless last-ditch mini-primary held https://t.co/j1E5El1ULa

Imagine the spectacle: Obama and Clinton, the party’s aging rock stars, selecting eight hopefuls, including Kamala Harris, to strut their stuff in town halls across various regions. Of course, Carville contends that these forums will provide a fresh look at Harris and other “top-tier” Democrats. Translation? The Democrats are desperate to rebrand Harris, hoping people will forget her spectacular failures as Vice President.
The irony here is palpable. Carville expects this circus-like primary to generate enthusiasm comparable to the Super Bowl. Because nothing says strong leadership quite like admitting your sitting president is such a liability that you need a televised talent show to find a replacement. It reeks of desperation and highlights just how fractured the Democratic Party truly is.
Meanwhile, in typical fashion, Carville assures everyone that this hyper-democratic method is the antithesis of anything President Trump and his MAGA supporters would ever dare to do. But let’s be honest – this mini-primary charade is less about democracy and more about salvaging a sinking ship. Leftists are running scared because they know Biden is an anchor pulling their chances of victory straight to the bottom of the electoral ocean.
