James Carville expressed his hope that former President Joe Biden could help his party by stepping aside, stating, “no one wants to hear from this guy anymore.” Speaking on his “Politics War Room” podcast with co-host Al Hunt, Carville remarked on the current state of Biden’s legacy. “We all know Biden. Actually, you and I know him personally. And I think it’s fair to say that we’re longtime, at some level, admirers of Joe Biden. What he’s done to himself is, no one wants to hear from this guy anymore, OK?”

Carville added, “Just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. And that’s not because we’re bad people, or we’re mean people. It was all his doing, all his doing, this entire thing.”

Carville criticized Biden’s refusal to exit the 2024 race earlier and his recent statement claiming he could have beaten President Trump if he had remained in the race. “And this kind of petty back-and-forth, ‘Oh, I would have beat Trump,’ and no one f—ing believes that at all. Then fighting with Jill Biden and Alexandra Pelosi,” Carville noted, referencing Nancy Pelosi’s daughter’s comments about tensions with the former first lady over Biden’s eventual decision to step down.

Carville, a former Bill Clinton adviser, described Biden as “one of the most tragic stories of American politics in my lifetime” and suggested any future involvement by Biden would be detrimental. “Look, guy, you had a noble career. Your last act was terrible. Just get out of the way. The party’s moving on. I mean, they’re really moving on. It is very sad, but that is just where we are. He created this himself. He had nobody to blame but himself,” Carville emphasized.

Carville has been a persistent critic of Biden’s decision to stay in the race, arguing that the Democratic Party’s chances in the 2024 election would have been better without him. “But the different scenario would be, if he would have — in September of 2023 or August — said that he wasn’t going to run … we would have won this election,” Carville remarked last month. “And it wouldn’t have been that close, because we’d have had so many freaking talented people that were running.”
