Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville on Monday voiced his optimism over Kamala Harris ’ campaign, once again saying he believes she will beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Harris’ campaign feels “disciplined” and “organized” while Trump is “trying a new message every other day” and his team is “blaming each other already,” Carville told MSNBC’s Ari Melber . Carville drew on his lengthy political experience, which has included being on the losing side of elections, when he said: “I kind of know what they feel and look like and my chief takeaway is that the Harris campaign does not feel like it’s losing.
” And although he didn’t have polling data to back up the claim, he said: “I do know smell when I smell it and his [Trump’s] campaign has the smell of a loser, to me.” Other news outlets have retreated behind paywalls. At HuffPost, we believe journalism should be free for everyone.
