James Carville Offers Grim Outlook for Kamala Harris Amid Early Voting Results: ‘Early Indications Here Are Not Sterling’
Democratic strategist James Carville expressed concern for Vice President Kamala Harris based on early voting results across the country.
Carville on Tuesday night joined Amazon’s live election coverage hosted by Brian Williams. In reaction to early numbers in several states — which showed Harris losing ground to Trump in a number of suburbs — Carville explained why that could spell doom for the vice president in other suburbs around the country.
“Loudoun County, Virginia’s not great,” Carville said. “Think Dulles Airport, suburban Washington — [I] think [Joe Biden] was like 62% in 2020. I’m seeing 57, 58 right now. There are troubling signs out there, but we got a big vote coming out of Philadelphia. Let’s just wait a second. Let’s see what happens in North Carolina and Georgia; but I would be less than honest if I didn’t say the early indications here are not sterling.”
According to Carville, the increased voter turnout in Pennsylvania — and specifically Philadelphia — were more promising signs.
“Talking about a 50,000-100,000 increase in democratic votes in Philadelphia,” Carville continued, “so that should absolve something. That should absolve a lot; and some of the stuff I see out of Georgia is, obviously, more encouraging than Florida. Anything is more encouraging than that.”
