## Resource

Today on Greta Wire: - James Carville describes the Democratic Party as completely “out of power” and says it will remain without a clear leader until voters select the 2028 presidential nominee.  - Carville predicts the 2026 midterms could deliver Democrats anything from a strong year to a “monster year,” pointing to Republican retirements, Donald Trump’s approval numbers, intense Democratic opposition and rising Black voter turnout.  - He places primary responsibility for the 2024 election loss on Joe Biden for staying in the race too long and calls Kamala Harris’s failure to separate herself from Biden the worst answer of her campaign.  - Looking toward 2028, Carville highlights Mark Kelly, Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro, J.B. Pritzker, Mitch Landrieu, Rahm Emanuel and Raphael Warnock, while dismissing AOC’s path and sharing stories from his early political career and his first encounters with Bill Clinton.
