Carville Blasts Far-Left Democrats Over 2026 Primary Upsets, Warns of Two-Party System's End

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 11

Summary

  • James Carville used a Friday "Politics War Room" video to denounce far-left Democrats for defeating longtime incumbents in 2026 primaries, saying the party is turning on itself instead of beating Republicans.
  • New York and Colorado losses drove his attack: Democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander ousted Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman in New York, while Melat Kiros unseated Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado.
  • Carville also singled out Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Bernie Sanders, rejecting arguments that establishment Democrats and Republicans are effectively the same and calling that message politically destructive.
  • He closed by urging Democratic voters to resist what he called "false prophets" in the midterms, warning that rising radicals in both parties could help unravel the U.S. two-party system.
  • The broadside followed another Carville complaint earlier this week, when he faulted Maine Democrats for failing to vet scandal-hit candidate Graham Platner.
