Democratic strategist James Carville predicts an election "plot twist" in the next 40 days leading up to November and harshly criticizes the Harris-Walz campaign for not doing more to combat claims that Trump "saved Obamacare."
Democratic strategist James Carville has predicted an election "plot twist" in the next 40 days leading up to November, suggesting that the outcome may not be as clear-cut as polls currently suggest.
"I think there's going to be a plot twist in the next 40 days," Carville said during an interview with CNN. "I don't know what it is, but I think there's something out there that we don't see yet."

Carville did not provide any specifics about what the "plot twist" might be, but he said that the election is "far from over."
"This is a sprint to the finish," Carville said. "Both sides are going to be going all out in the next few weeks, and anything can happen."

Carville's prediction comes as polls show a tight race between Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate. Democrats currently hold a narrow majority in both chambers, but Republicans are hoping to flip control in the midterm elections.
If Republicans gain control of either chamber, it could make it more difficult for President Joe Biden to pass his legislative agenda. Republicans have also vowed to investigate the Biden administration if they take control of Congress.
The midterm elections are scheduled for November 8, 2022.
Democratic strategist James Carville has harshly criticized the Harris-Walz campaign for not doing more to combat claims that former President Donald Trump "saved Obamacare."
Carville made the comments during an appearance on the "Politics War Room" podcast after JD Vance, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Ohio, repeated the claim during a debate with Democratic incumbent Tim Walz.
"Why isn't Harris herself out today talking about that?" Carville seethed on the podcast. "Get off your a--. Move, move, move!"
Carville said that health care is a "huge issue" and that the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, is "a law that is important to people."
He also called Vance's claim "an out and out lie," repeatedly asking why Harris herself wasn't out in the media talking about it.
"What the f--- are y'all doing in the Harris campaign, get her out there now, now!" he said. "They ought to have Obama and Nancy Pelosi and they ought to do a Zoom call with the national media. I mean kick the crap out of this now, use everything."
"[Trump] did everything in his power to destroy it and this is not an issue that people don't care about," Carville said. "It's not a nitpicking thing and I got to tell you, the White House response and I think by and large, to a large extent, the press response is not at all measured to the gravity of this lie, of the importance of this. You're lying about people's g--damn lives."
"What the f--- are you people doing," he lambasted. "Get off your a--. Move, move, move!"
Carville made similar comments during an appearance on CNN, where he said that Democrats should go "crazy" over Vance's "pants-on-fire" claim.
"Why haven't they just gone crazy over Vance saying that Donald Trump saved Obamacare?" Carville said. "That's pants-on-fire, 5-star 20 Pinocchio B.S. and it's a great issue for us."
"I don't know why they did not kick in that thing — why they don't have [Vice President Kamala] Harris out there, President [Barack] Obama, former Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi, everybody," he added. "Like, what are you talking about?"
The Harris-Walz campaign has not yet responded to Carville's criticism.
