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

Breaking Local News ReportOctober 16, 20240

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.
