James Carville Says It’s The Economy, Stupid! But Continues to Push For Bidenomics Sponsor Kamala Harris

NEW ORLEANS, La. — James Carville, the veteran Democratic strategist who famously coined the phrase “The economy, stupid” during Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, is supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in her potential 2024 race against Donald Trump, despite apparent contradictions between his past messaging and current economic conditions.

Carville’s 1992 slogan emphasized the importance of economic issues in winning elections, a strategy that helped Clinton unseat then-President George H.W. Bush during a recession. However, current polling data shows that many Americans view the economy under the Biden-Harris administration unfavorably, with inflation and rising interest rates topping voters’ concerns.

Carville has publicly backed Harris as a strong alternative to Trump, citing reasons beyond the economy. While the U.S. economy remains a crucial issue in 2024, Carville’s support for Harris suggests his strategic considerations may now extend to concerns over democracy and governance, issues he has increasingly highlighted in recent years.

In a recent interview, Carville noted his belief that “the risks posed by Trump’s return to power outweigh the current economic challenges.” This indicates a shift from his earlier mantra that focused primarily on economic issues.

Carville’s endorsement of Harris could face criticism from those who believe his famous slogan positions the current administration on the wrong side of voters’ concerns. However, his stance underscores his prioritization of broader political stability over singular focus on economic factors.
