Carville Tells Kamala Harris That Dems Want Nothing To Do With Her In 2028

 

What Carville actually said

Carville argued that Harris would have little chance of winning the Democratic nomination in 2028 and suggested that many Democrats want to move on from the people associated with the failed 2024 campaign.

• He reportedly said Harris has “no chance” of becoming president in 2028.

• He also suggested the party is likely to distance itself from figures tied to the 2024 campaign as it looks for a new direction.

Carville has also criticized the campaign’s strategy and messaging, arguing Harris didn’t give voters a strong enough reason to support her during the election she lost to Donald Trump.

Broader Democratic debate

Some Democratic officials and strategists are reportedly skeptical about another Harris run. For example, moderate Democrats interviewed at party events said they might prefer “somebody who can win” rather than a repeat nominee who already lost a presidential race.

At the same time:

• Harris has not ruled out running in 2028 and has said she hasn’t decided yet.

• She remains a prominent figure in the party after serving as vice president from 2021–2025.

Key takeaway

Carville’s comments are one strategist’s opinion, but they reflect a wider discussion inside the Democratic Party about whether it should turn to a new generation of candidates for 2028 instead of returning to Harris.
