Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville had blunt words for former Vice President Kamala Harris and the rest of the 2024 ticket: the party is ready to leave them behind.

Speaking on his Politics War Room podcast Thursday, Carville said the Democratic Party has no interest in nominating Harris — or anyone else closely tied to the disastrous 2024 campaign — in the next presidential election.

“Don’t be terrified,” Carville told one concerned listener. “She wisely chose not to run for governor of California.”

Carville said flatly that Harris will not be the Democratic Party nominee in 2028.

“Anybody that had anything to do with 2024, the party wants to move on from that,” he said. “This isn’t anybody’s fault.”

He even extended his warning to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz:

“This goes to Walz, too. I wouldn’t run again. If I were your friend, if I were your chief advisor, I’m doing this not from a personal standpoint, but because this is not going to be the environment where Democrats look to anybody connected to the 2024 campaign.”

Carville’s co-host, Al Hunt, also aimed a jab at Biden, telling him:

“Joe Biden, would you please go take the restful retirement you so richly deserve?”

While Harris, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are all expected to test the waters for 2028, others are ruling themselves out — at least for now.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a rising star in Democrat politics, told The Associated Press he will not run for president in 2028, nor is he trying to position himself for a vice presidential spot.

“I’m not running,” Moore said. “And people should get very used to me going all over the country bringing business back to Maryland, because that’s exactly what I plan on doing as long as I’m the governor of the state.”

Despite his statement, Moore has continued making high-profile trips to battleground states, including a recent stop in South Carolina to speak at the Blue Palmetto Dinner. He is expected to seek re-election in Maryland next year.

Pete Buttigieg, meanwhile, has been working to raise his profile, embracing digital media outreach and courting younger audiences. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, he emphasized his desire to keep engaging voters outside traditional party lines.

“I’m using my voice best I can in traditional media and new media, and I’m going to continue having conversations with neighbors, with voters, talking about how we could have a better way,” Buttigieg said. “I don’t know what that means for me, politically or professionally, a long way from making any decisions about that, but I know that’s what I need to be doing right now.”

With President Donald J. Trump securely leading the country in his second term, Democrats appear deeply divided over who — if anyone — can unite their fractured coalition in 2028. If Carville’s advice is any indication, the old guard may be finished before the race even begins.
