James Carville, a Democrat political strategist, says he believes the party will win back the White House in November.
“This is an opportunity that you just don’t see very often in politics,” he said on the Vox podcast, “Today, Explained.” “I mean, we have a chance to come in if we’re smart. We have a chance to run the table in November.
“There’s 55% of the country that wants to not be for (President Donald Trump). That’s a big number. We should do everything we can to maximize that number. All of the evidence I see is people do not want Trump back. But we’ve got to run a strong persuasion campaign in Pennsylvania, in Michigan in Wisconsin, in Florida."
He said Democrats need to focus their campaign on things that impact people’s lives.
“What you do is you talk about things that affect their lives personally,” he said. “You think they think that Trump’s done something about prescription drug prices? You think they think that his tax cut went to anybody but the richest people in the country? You think that people are not so stupid that they know Donald Trump went to Davos and while he was in Davos said he was going to cut Medicare after he was elected again?”
And he added: “I want to get Trump out of there.”
In a Tuesday night interview with MSNBC, Carville called on Democrats to get behind former Vice President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee.
