Carville Urges Democrats to Deny NYC 13 Winner Avila Chevalier a Caucus Seat

Summary
James Carville said Democrats should not seat Darializa Avila Chevalier in their House caucus after her upset June 23 primary win in New York’s 13th District.
Carville argued Chevalier’s self-described democratic socialism and past remarks on prisons and interracial dating put her outside the party’s core coalition, calling her views “a bridge too far.”
He said she could still serve in Congress if elected, but as a democratic socialist rather than as part of the Democratic Party’s congressional ranks.
The criticism adds to scrutiny of Chevalier after deleted posts attacking Joe Biden and saying she used the American flag as a napkin, while Carville cited Democrats including John Fetterman distancing themselves from similar politics.
