Carville Says Democrats Need 2028 Winner, Calls AOC Not Viable

James Carville said Democrats should pick the most electable 2028 nominee, not prioritize identity, and argued Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a viable presidential contender.
A listener question about whether America is ready for a female president prompted the exchange, with Carville saying a woman can win nationally if Democrats field a strong candidate.
Carville said Kamala Harris lost because voters saw her as a continuation of the Biden status quo, while Hillary Clinton's 2016 defeat came despite winning the popular vote.
Al Hunt backed that view, calling AOC a formidable communicator but saying the Democratic Party remains a mainstream progressive party rather than a left-wing one.
