James Carville Points To Kamala Harris’s The View Blunder As Pivotal Campaign Fail: ‘Sunk Her Chances’

Democratic strategist James Carville pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris’s inability to distinguish her political vision from President Joe Biden’s during her interview on ABC’s The View as a consequential failure in her election campaign.

The exchange unfolded in early October when The View co-host Sunny Hostin asked Harris if there was anything she would have done differently from Biden over the past four years as the Democratic nominee answered: “I can’t think of anything.”

On The Bulwark podcast, Carville recounted Harris’s response to a crucial question about what made her different from Biden, calling it a moment that “sunk her chances.”

Carville argued that the question should have been an easy opportunity for Harris to define her unique stance. Instead, the interview exposed what Carville saw as a critical weakness: Harris’s struggle to assert a vision distinct from the Biden administration.

“She’s asked, as is so often the case in a friendly audience on The View, how would you be different than Biden? That’s the one question that you exist to answer, alright? That is it. That’s the money question. That’s the one that everybody wants to know the answer to. And you freeze! You literally freeze and say, ‘Well, I can’t think of anything,’” he said.

Carville added that 65 percent of the country had said they wanted something different, and the answer was an admission that Democrats were “just not going to give it to them.”

He continued: “But when we go back and history unearths this, it’s going to be right there on The View. And I think her name was Sunny House or Houston or whatever asked the question. And that’s the most devastating answer you could imagine.”
