Carville Targets Fetterman in Podcast

In a recent episode of his "Politics War Room" podcast, Democratic strategist James Carville launched a scathing critique of Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., labeling him as one of the "great backstabbers" in modern Democratic politics. Carville's comments come in the wake of Fetterman's alleged undermining of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro during the vice presidential selection process for Kamala Harris. Carville suggested that Fetterman’s actions necessitate a reckoning after the upcoming presidential election. Fetterman reportedly expressed concerns to Harris' campaign about Shapiro's focus on his own ambitions, which he believed could hinder the party's unity. During an appearance on MSNBC, Fetterman addressed the controversy, stating, "I just don’t understand why we’re talking about a choice that was already made," indicating his discontent with the ongoing discussions surrounding the vice presidential selection. In response to Carville's criticisms, Fetterman maintained a dismissive stance, stating, "I’m not worried about that. I’ll never understand that." This exchange highlights the growing tensions within the Democratic Party as it navigates internal conflicts and differing priorities among its members. Carville, for his part, noted that he has never met Fetterman, suggesting a disconnect between the two figures. As the political landscape evolves, the implications of these criticisms may resonate within the party as it prepares for the upcoming election cycle.
