Democrat strategist James Carville reportedly expressed his apprehension regarding the approaching presidential election day to MSNBC presenter Ali Melber, stating that he was “scared to death.”
He also advised Democrats to become “aggressive” and “sharp” in the final weeks of the campaign.
During his appearance on The Beat With Ali Melber on Wednesday night, the Democratic strategist addressed the final weeks of the campaign.
He expressed his “extreme concern” regarding the journey ahead.
“The only thing I feel is the election is coming November 5th. I’m scared to death. And I’ll get a time to — ” Carville said.
“You’re not in a reflective mood?” Melber asked.
“Not in a particularly reflective mood right now. I’m very, very concerned,” Carville said in response.
“What does Harris need to do with the month left?” Melber inquired.
“She doesn’t have a month left. We’ve got 26 days. Today is gone. You’re going to lose four to the hurricane. Just subtract that. We’re going to get blank — you’re not going to get much out for the next four days. And everything, kind of, shuts down the Saturday before the election, so you’re really probably under 20 days that you have to really get a message out.” he responded.
“They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop answering questions and start asking questions. They’re doing all this and sitting down with 60 Minutes and sitting down with Colbert and sitting down — no matter what, if I come on your show, you will ask me the questions. If I have a press conference, I get to ask the questions.” Carville added.
“But we’re just letting that go. And I think she and the whole campaign needs to be much more aggressive and much less passive than they are.” the longtime Democrat strategist concluded near the end of the discussion
