Carville: Democratic Party ‘a cracked-out clown car’
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – James Carville calls on Democrats to rally around repealing Trump's law cutting Medicaid and food aid, citing a poll showing 60% of Americans oppose the legislation.
- On Monday, Democratic strategist James Carville wrote a New York Times op-ed, calling the party a `cracked-out clown car`.
- He noted that the Democratic Party lacks a clear leader, is split between progressives and moderates, and referenced Trump’s `big, beautiful bill` signed earlier this month.
- According to Carville, 'We demand a repeal' of Trump's law, which will slash $1.1 trillion from health care and strip coverage from 11.8 million people.
- Carville warned the Democratic Party is ‘steamrolling toward a civilized civil war,’ noting only a savior like Obama or Clinton can rescue it amid imminent soul-searching.
- Soon it will no longer be possible to avoid a brawl, Carville said, while Democrats and Republicans ramp up 2026 midterm campaigns and eye the 2028 primary start.
