Longtime Democratic political consultant James Carville has called on party leadership to draw a definitive line against democratic socialists, arguing that certain incoming lawmakers should be excluded from the House Democratic caucus.
Carville’s Concerns
Carville specifically targeted Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic nominee for New York’s 13th Congressional District. He argued that despite her primary victory, congressional Democrats are under no obligation to welcome her into their official party folds.
Carville emphasized his preference for standard centrist Democrats, pointing to figures like Michigan’s Elissa Slotkin and veteran recruits as the future of the party.
He drew a sharp distinction between criticizing foreign governments and denying their right to exist, pointing to platforms held by some members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
