Part 2/7:
Carville recaps the prevailing sentiment among voters: a significant portion of the electorate felt the country was headed in the wrong direction, a sentiment that, according to him, was embraced by over 70% of the population. Instead of embracing this sentiment and presenting a viable alternative, the Democrats failed to offer the necessary change people desired. He argues that Democrats missed an opportunity to capitalize on this desire, which ultimately led to their downfall.
Reflecting on the 2024 campaign, Carville critiques Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of economic issues. He feels that had President Biden launched his campaign earlier, in May 2023, the Democrats would have had a much stronger chance against Trump.
