In a scathing assessment, James Carville, a prominent Democratic strategist, declared that keeping President Biden as the party's presidential nominee is a "idiotic choice." He called for a change in leadership, citing the party's poor performance since Biden's lackluster debate performance.
Democratic Party strategist James Carville has reignited the debate over President Biden's fitness to serve as the party's presidential nominee, asserting that keeping him in the race is "idiotic." Carville, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, made the statement during a Tuesday night appearance on CNN, where he expressed concern over the Democratic Party's prospects in the upcoming election.
Following Biden's disappointing performance in the recent debate, Carville argued that the Democratic Party is losing ground to Republicans and that a change in leadership is necessary. "I think we got to have a change, I just genuinely do," he declared. "We're losing. And when we lose, America loses. It's that simple."

Carville went on to criticize Biden's team for their handling of the situation following the president's poor debate outing. "I watch some of these press conferences and it reminds me of a book they made me read in college called 'Ship of Fools,' a bunch of desperate people sailing into disaster."
Carville expressed frustration over the party's reluctance to consider alternative candidates, saying, "I see a lot of fear and a lot of, 'Well, if we try something different, we end up in a ditch.' Well, we're already in a ditch, but ought to try to get out of it as opposed to trying to drive in it."

Carville's comments come amidst growing calls from pundits and Democratic Party members for Biden to step down due to concerns about his mental fitness and cognitive abilities. Aides to Biden recently stated, however, that they are "done talking" about the president's debate performance and remain focused on defeating former President Trump in November.
Carville, however, remains unconvinced. "I still think I'll stand by my thing that he won't run," he said, "but if he does, we're just making an idiotic choice for the future of our country... They're moving states away from us. We're losing, we're not winning."

Carville's assessment reflects the growing dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party over Biden's leadership. The party faces an uphill battle in the upcoming election, with Republicans gaining momentum in swing states. The nomination of a more formidable candidate could be seen as a necessary step to salvage their chances of retaining the White House.
However, the decision of whether to replace Biden is ultimately up to the individual voters. The upcoming election will serve as a referendum on the Democratic Party's leadership and its ability to address the concerns of the American people.
