The 2028 presidential election is still in its early stages, but longtime Democrat strategist James Carville has already made a bold prediction: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will not be the Democrat nominee.
Carville made this statement during a recent discussion with Greta Van Susteren of Newsmax, attributing the Democrat nominee's choice to southern black voters.
According to Carville, these voters are more conservative than most people realize, which is why he believes AOC has no shot at being the nominee.
Carville emphasized that his statement is not a guarantee, acknowledging that he might be wrong.
He also clarified that while AOC is a talented politician with exceptional staff work, her chances of becoming the nominee are slim due to her left-leaning views.
The Democrat nominee is typically chosen by southern black voters, and Carville believes they will not support someone as far left as AOC.
This prediction has significant implications for the party, particularly if the DSA pushes for AOC or someone like her to be the nominee.
If the party chooses a nominee who is not aligned with the left-wing faction, it could create a massive schism among Democrats.
This split could lead to a civil war within the party, making it challenging for Democrats to present a unified front in the 2028 presidential election.
