Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his podcast co-host Al Hunt are lamenting recent primary wins by Democratic socialist candidates in New York, viewing them as a movement that does not belong in the Democratic Party. Carville explicitly stated he cannot be in the same party as candidates like Darializa Avila Chevalier, who has attacked interracial relationships and the American flag, and suggested a formal ‘schism’ is needed. Both strategists believe these candidates are a gift to Donald Trump and could cost Democrats the election.
