Carville lists ‘imperatives’ for Harris to become ‘certified fresh candidate’

Democratic strategist James Carville listed out three “imperatives” he said Vice President Harris should do to boost her chances of winning in November.
“We have an incumbent vice president running against a former president in a change election,” Carville wrote in a guest essay for The New York Times published Tuesday.
“From Labor Day to Election Day, to clinch victory and drive a nail into Mr. Trump’s political career, there are three imperatives Ms. Harris must drive at successfully to become the certified fresh candidate at the ballot box in November,” he added.
Carville, who served as a senior adviser to former President Clinton’s campaign, said Harris’s “greatest political advantage” is that the public opinion on former President Trump is “settled.”
He went on to list three things the Democratic nominee should do to help win the election: Help Trump “hurt himself” in the debate, break from President Biden’s policy and show a “clear growth mind-set from the 2020 Democratic primaries.”
The first debate between former Trump and Harris will be moderated by ABC News on Sept. 10. Carville wrote that Trump “must be a train wreck” during this debate, noting that it’s up to Harris “to lay the tracks.”
