Prominent Democrat strategist James Carville claims that he is being pressured by fellow party members to stop discussing President Joe Biden’s low polling numbers for the 2024 election.
Carville believes that Biden’s numbers are not good and not improving.
He has been in talks with Rep. Dean Phillips about potentially replacing Biden as the Democrat Party’s nominee. (Trending: Joe Biden Historic Take Down of Guns)
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

Carville also highlights the issue of low voter turnout among black Americans, which he sees as a significant problem for Biden.
“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.
“I talk to a lot of people who do a lot of congressional-level polling and state polling, and they’re all saying the same thing. There’s not an outlier; there’s not another opinion… The question is, has the country made up its mind?”
“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 told the outlet. (Trending: Donald Trump Is A ‘Cockroach’ That Just Won’t Go Away)
“I’m just so frustrated—I’m growing appalled—by the silence from people whose job it is to be loud.”
Phillips expresses frustration with the silence from those whose job it is to be vocal.
Former Louisiana congressman Cedric Richmond criticizes Phillips’ attempt to primary Biden, calling it a vanity project.
The Lincoln Project also criticizes Phillips and supports President Biden’s reelection.
“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.
