James Carville says America's woke 'hangover' haunted Harris campaign, damaged Democratic brand

In his ongoing 2024 presidential election postmortem, Democratic Party strategist James Carville claimed that society's woke "hangover" from 2020 came back to haunt Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, causing it to fail.

"The hangover from the whole identity politics is haunting us til this day," Carville declared, after citing polling data indicating that a majority of Americans saw Harris as left wing and rejected her.

He began his point by citing a poll finding late breaking voters thought Harris would support defunding the police, should she have won. 

"All of the hangover from the early part of this decade stuck with us," Carville said, referring to liberals and the Democratic Party. 

Blueprint's website stated, "Harris couldn't outrun her past or her party- it was a vice grip that proved impossible to escape." 

Carville pointed out how this anti-woke backlash has manifested, not only in rejecting Harris, but in the culture and business sectors as well. 

Carville noted he thinks the Democratic Party will be beyond the woke policies by 2028, but still lamented the "damage" wokeness has done.

"The damage that this whole thing did to the brand was really hard," he declared.

"I'll snap out of it, but I'm, I'm, I'm in a very, very dark tunnel right now."
