James Carville says he's certain Kamala Harris will win, gives 3 reasons

Democratic operative and analyst James Carville said he's certain that Kamala Harris will be the next president and Donald Trump will again lose. His election prediction is not coming from any bias as he argued that the Republican Party has been on a losing streak since Trump took over. "While I am not one to take part in the political prediction industry — recently ballooned by mysterious crypto investments gambling on a Donald Trump victory — today I am pulling my stool up to the political poker table to throw my chips all in: America, it will all be OK. Ms. Harris will be elected the next president of the United States. Of this, I am certain," James Carville wrote for NYT.

The pollsters are giving their final prediction as the election remains the closest it can get. Pollster Silver Nate said going by his gut feeling that Donald Trump would win but Kamala Harris could also spring a surprise.

James Carville said he is certain that Kamala Harris will win the election. Explaining his argument, Carville wrote that in 2020 Trump was decisively bucked from the White House. Democrats, on the other hand, have been performing well in special elections since Trump appointees on the Supreme Court helped take away a basic right of American women, he wrote. "Guess what? Abortion is on the ballot again — for president."

Carville's second argument is money in which Kamala Harris surpassed Donald Trump's campaign. "Since joining the race, the vice president has raised an eye-boggling $1 billion, and last quarter one of her fund-raising committees reeled in $633 million — dwarfing what Mr. Trump raised with two committees combined. All this cash not only effectively offsets the flow of money funneling in for Mr. Trump from some tech billionaires, but it has also given Ms. Harris the resources she needs to persuade swing voters with ads and to organize on the ground," he wrote.

Carville's third reason is his gut feeling which he described as 100 per cent emotion reason. "We are constantly told that America is too divided, too hopelessly stricken by tribalism, to grasp the stakes. That is plain wrong. If the Cheneys and A.O.C. get that the Constitution and our democracy are on the ballot, every true conservative and every true progressive should get it too. A vast majority of Americans are rational, reasonable people of good will. I refuse to believe that the same country that has time and again overcome its mistakes to bend its future toward justice will make the same mistake twice. America overcame Mr. Trump in 2020. I know that we know we are better than this," he wrote.
