Democratic strategist James Carville, also known as the “Ragin’ Cajun,” dropped a bombshell in a recent interview, predicting that President Biden may not make it to Election Day on the ticket. But just hours after this revelation, the Biden campaign swiftly fired back with a fundraising message using Carville’s name – despite his denial of approval.
In a twist of events, Carville mentioned in an article by Axios that Biden’s performance in the presidential debate could influence his decision to step aside before the election. Drawing from his experience leading Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign, Carville hinted at Biden’s potential exit, citing a famous quote by economist Herb Stein.
While a Biden campaign spokesperson affirmed their collaboration with Carville on fundraising messages, Carville himself expressed surprise and discomfort at seeing his name being used without his team’s knowledge. Nevertheless, he assured that he would still support Biden in a hypothetical face-off against Donald Trump.
Amidst the controversy, the Biden campaign’s fundraising efforts have intensified, focusing on rallying supporters to “defeat Trump again” in light of Biden’s debate performance. Despite acknowledging his age and physical limitations, Biden remains steadfast in his commitment to truth and results.
Following the debate, Biden embarked on a fundraising tour, including star-studded events in New York with celebs like Billy Porter and Elton John. As the campaign intensifies, the question still lingers – will Biden be the Democratic candidate on Election Day? Only time will tell.
