- Following three socialist-linked primary victories in New York on Tuesday, James Carville urged far-left candidates to form their own movement, arguing on Politics War Room that the party must "negotiate a terms of a schism."
- Carville specifically criticized Darializa Avila Chevalier and other candidates for policies out of step with mainstream voters, stating, "I actually do think it's time for Democrats to talk 'the S-word.'" citing their positions on Israel.
- During a NewsNation interview last Wednesday, Carville suggested the House Democratic Caucus should refuse to seat Avila Chevalier, warning, "She's not a Democrat," and arguing her views oppose the party's pluralism.
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrated the primary victories, having backed Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, and Brad Lander, highlighting the growing electoral influence of the socialist movement.
