James Carville 'rattled' by one 'tied' race: 'Should scare the hell out of every Democrat'
Famed political strategist James Carville sounded the alarm on Saturday, admitting he's "rattled" by one key political contest.
Carville, known for his work on Bill Clinton's team, said over the weekend, "I’ve worked on more campaigns than I can count, and let me tell you: I don’t rattle easily." He went on to note that, "But this race in New Hampshire? It’s TIED. In a dead heat. And that should scare the hell out of every Democrat in the country."
The fear surrounds a "wide open" seat, according to the legendary politico.
"Here’s the deal: Jeanne Shaheen is retiring. That means this seat is wide open. And now John Sununu — yes, one of those Sununus, the long-time New Hampshire political dynasty — is running to flip it red," he added Saturday. "He’s got the name, he’s got the money, and he’s got the full weight of the Republican donor class behind him — from Wall Street to the far-right Super PACs. They see New Hampshire as their ticket to locking down the Senate for another decade."
He went on to characterize the race as "neck-and-neck."
"And right now? This race is neck-and-neck. It could go either way," the strategist claimed. "Chris Pappas is our guy. He’s won the toughest district in New Hampshire four times. He knows how to reach voters across the aisle and build a coalition that wins. But he cannot — CANNOT — do this alone."
He also explained the high stakes of this race.
"The GOP knows if they take New Hampshire, Democrats don’t have a shot at retaking the Senate. And they’re ready to bury us in negative ads and dark money," he further noted. "We’ve got to fight smarter, faster, and harder. We’ve got to help Chris Pappas build the campaign we need to win. Let’s show these Republican bigshots that they can’t buy another Senate seat. Not on our watch."
Carville concluded with, "Let’s win this damn thing and flip control of the Senate."
