Democratic Strategist James Carville Predicts Biden's Possible Departure Before Election Day

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville expressed concerns about President Biden's leadership style, claiming he lacks advisers and only has employees.

Following a poor debate performance against former President Trump, the debate's aftermath sparked discussions about whether Biden should step aside and allow another Democrat to challenge Trump in the polls.

Carville's Critique

Speaking to Axios, Carville revealed that he never supported Biden's candidacy and foresees Biden being removed from the ballot by Election Day. Carville's criticism underscored a growing sentiment among some House Democrats that Biden should step aside.

While some Democrats are standing by the president, others are questioning his capabilities, with some suggesting it's time for a change. This shift in sentiment is notable, as it was previously unthinkable for House Democrats to challenge Biden's candidacy.

Support and Defense

Despite the criticism, staunch Biden allies like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended his character, acknowledging a rough start but emphasizing his integrity compared to Trump's "dishonesty." On the other hand, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested that negotiations with Biden were difficult and hinted that change would only come if Biden chose to step down.

Key Decision Makers

According to Axios, a small circle of Biden's closest allies, including his wife Jill Biden, his sister Valerie Biden, and his longtime friend Ted Kaufman, are portrayed as the "only Biden deciders," alluding to their significant influence over the President's decisions.
