Carville Urges Democratic Schism After 3 Mamdani-Backed Candidates Win New York Primaries

Summary
James Carville said Democrats should discuss a formal "schism" after three Zohran Mamdani-backed candidates, including Darializa Avila Chevalier, won New York primaries this week.
Carville singled out Chevalier, saying her reported attacks on interracial relationships, the American flag and Israel's right to exist put her outside the party he can remain in.
Al Hunt, Carville's podcast co-host, argued Republicans are overstating the trio's influence but said the candidates could still hurt Democrats in November and complicate Hakeem Jeffries' leadership.
The remarks expose a widening fight inside Democrats over whether far-left primary winners are part of a broad coalition or a political liability ahead of the general election.
