James Carville Doubts What Biden Is ‘Capable of’ on MSNBC: ‘It Was Telling When He Didn’t Do the Super Bowl Interview’

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville doubted what President Joe Biden was “capable of” on Morning Joe Wednesday morning, calling Biden’s spurning of an interview before last month’s Super Bowl “telling.”

“How do you address the age issue?” Joe Scarborough asked Carville. “And I’m just curious, do you agree with people close to Biden, people who’ve been friends with Biden for a long time, that maybe he’s been protected a little too much? Let the guy get out there!”

“Well, I mean, their decisions, how much he gets out there, have to be made by him and has to be made by people that interact with him every day and understand what the benefits and the risks are,” began Carville in his reply. “But it’s hard for me to sit here a thousand miles away and say, ‘Well, you should do this with him’ when they are much more attuned to what he’s capable of doing or not capable of doing.”

He continued:

I thought it was telling when he didn’t do the Super Bowl interview. But, you know, to their credit, they came back and they put him on Seth Meyers, which I think helped a little bit. But I don’t, this is a big obstacle that they’re faced with and they have to deal with it. But the good news for the Biden campaign is Trump is very weak. You saw the exposure he has in the Republican primaries, you’re going to see more exposure with this March 25 trial coming up in New York, a much underplayed event. And he’s not the most coherent person that ever lived either.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted last month, shortly after Special Counsel Robert Hur revealed that Biden asked him if he was “still” vice president in 2009, Biden’s first year in that position, found that 86 percent of voting age adults believe that the 81-year-old Biden is too old to serve another term as commander-in-chief.
