James Carville Says He’d Volunteer for the Campaign if Ruben Gallego Primaried Kyrsten Sinema
It isn’t easy, at this point, to understand what Kyrsten Sinema’s plan is. Her resistance to Joe Biden’s agenda is sinking her political career. A recent survey found that only 8% of Arizona’s Democrats approve of her.
And Sinema has a really strong opponent who could easily defeat her in a primary. During a recent MSNBC appearance, James Carville said that he’d happily back that opponent, Ruben Gallego.
Carville told Vox’s Sean Illing, “She’s not going to win a primary against Rep. Ruben Gallego; I’ll tell you that damn much. And I will personally volunteer to help him fundraise because I think we can keep that seat if he runs.”
It was a different story when it came to Joe Manchin, though. Understanding just how rare it is to have a Democratic senator in a deep red state, Carville continued, “Understand that Joe Manchin is a Roman Catholic Democrat in a state in which not a single county has voted Democrat [for president] since 2008. I repeat: not a single county has voted Democrat since 2008. Politics is about choices, and he’s up for reelection in 2024. If Manchin runs for reelection, I’ll do everything I can to help him because it’s either going to be Joe Manchin or Marsha Blackburn.”
