James Carville, a political consultant who worked on the Clinton campaigns, has expressed concerns about President Biden’s low polling numbers and the Democratic Party’s reluctance to acknowledge the issue.
Carville believes that Biden’s numbers are not improving, and he has been discussing with others the possibility of replacing Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee.
Carville also points out the low voter turnout among black Americans as a factor contributing to Biden’s difficulties. (Trending: Joe Biden Historic Take Down of Guns)
.@CheriJacobus .@BadBradRSR .@JudyPete .@glennkirschner2 I agree with James Carville on 2 points. Biden deserves reelection for his success, and Dems need to get on the messaging to fight the apprehension of a weary public. #VoteBlue2024 #Messaging pic.twitter.com/QYYHERlZle

“Nobody is saying, ‘James, you’re wrong,’” he said. “They’re saying, ‘James, you can’t say that.’”
“I’m looking at polling data, and I’m looking at all of it. The president’s numbers are just not good—and they’re not getting any better,” he argued.
Rep. Dean Phillips, who has announced a bid to primary Biden, shares Carville’s concerns and doubts Biden’s ability to beat Donald Trump in the next election. (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)

The Lincoln Project and former Louisiana congressman Cedric Richmond criticize Phillips’ primary attempt and express support for President Biden’s reelection.
Carville said, “The most under-covered story in contemporary American politics is that black turnout has been miserable everywhere since 2020.”
“My grave concern is I just don’t think President Biden will beat Donald Trump next November,” Rep. Phillips said.
The Lincoln Project also criticized Phillips’ attempt to primary Biden.
Dean Phillips should keep his ego at home so he can see what real leadership looks like when it comes to town. This entire "Make America Affordable Again" scampaign is one big vanity project money grab. https://t.co/IoFvsmikwT

“Dean Phillips should keep his ego at home so he can see what real leadership looks like when it comes to town. This entire ‘Make America Affordable Again’ scampaign [sic] is one big vanity project money grab,” the PAC posted on X.
“Dean Philips is running a quixotic ego-boosting crusade that will only serve to weaken the President,” the group added.
