Democratic strategist James Carville has expressed deep anxiety about Election Day and believes Vice President Kamala Harris needs to adopt a more aggressive approach to messaging. He strongly encourages Harris to take control of the narrative and engage in more press conferences and events.
James Carville, a prominent Democratic strategist, has voiced his "scared to death" sentiments about Election Day, prompting him to urge Vice President Kamala Harris to elevate her messaging strategy.
In a Wednesday interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber, Carville expressed grave concerns regarding the upcoming election. "I'm scared to death," he confessed. "I'm very, very concerned."

Carville emphasizes the importance of Harris utilizing the remaining 20 days prior to Election Day to amplify her messaging, given the anticipated media coverage of Hurricane Milton. "They need to be sharp. They need to be aggressive. They need to stop answering questions and start asking questions," he advised.
He further suggests that Harris should host more press conferences and events to assume control of the narrative. "Where she's out saying, 'What is JD Vance talking about that Trump saved ObamaCare? He tried to destroy it at every point.' I would put President Obama out to make that," Carville asserted. "He only has a 92% approval with Democrats."

Carville highlights the absence of formal press conferences held by Harris since her Democratic nomination 81 days ago. He emphasizes her need to confront the Trump-Vance campaign's messaging more effectively. "And I think she and the whole campaign need to be much more aggressive and much less passive than they are," he stated.
During his "Politics War Room" podcast, Carville echoed his call for Harris to address Vance and Trump's claims that Trump preserved ObamaCare. He denounced Vance's assertion as "an out-and-out lie" and questioned Harris' absence from the media circuit to counter such claims. "Get off your a--. Move, move, move!" Carville implored.
