Democratic strategist James Carville hopes former President Joe Biden can help his party by getting out of the way, since “nobody wants to hear from” him anymore.
“Well, that’s kind of the truth of where we are,” Carville told his “The Politics of War” podcast co-host Al Hunt on Wednesday. “We all know Biden. Indeed, you and I know him personally. And I think it’s fair to say that we are long-time, to some extent, admirers of Joe Biden. What he’s done to himself is, nobody wants to hear from this guy anymore, okay? ”
He added, “Just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. And it’s not because we’re bad people, or we’re mean people. It was all his doing, all his, all this stuff.”
Carville called out Biden’s refusal to leave the 2024 race early and his recent claim that he could have beaten President Donald Trump if he had stayed.
“And this kind of petty back and forth, ‘Oh I would have beaten Trump,’ and nobody believes that at all. Then fighting with Jill Biden and Alexandra Pelosi,” Carville said, referring to Nancy Pelosi’s daughter calling out the former first lady for attacking her mother’s role in Biden eventually walking away.
The former adviser to Bill Clinton went on to call Biden “one of the most tragic stories of American politics in my lifetime,” but added that any future role he plays in the future would be a negative one.
“Look, boy, you’ve had a noble career. Your last act was terrible. Just get out of the way. The party is moving forward. I mean, they’re really moving forward. It’s very sad, but that’s exactly where we are. He created this himself. He had nobody to blame but himself,” Carville said.
Carville has been a vocal critic of Biden for failing to drop out of the race sooner, and he has even suggested he would have helped Democrats win the election if he had.
“But the different scenario would be, if he had — in September of 2023 or August — said he wasn’t going to run … we would have won this election,” Carville said last month. “And it wouldn’t have been that close because we’d have so many freakishly talented people running around.”
Carville added, “And he would be sitting here right now, getting ready to leave on a high note. There would be naming committees to figure out what we’re going to name after him. He would be the toast of Washington.”
