Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt offered their takes on why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>, D-N.Y., will not be a viable contender for the 2028 election.<\/p>\n

While Hunt and Carville are both staunch Democrats, they have warned time and time again that the party needs to shift away from far-left policies and social agendas<\/a> if it wants to win elections.<\/p>\n

When one listener noted increasing talk of Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s prospects as a 2028 contender, asking if America is ready for a female president, Hunt offered a 2-pronged answer.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think AOC will be the nominee or the next president. I think she is a formidable communicator and figure. The Democratic Party is not a left-wing party,” he first answered. “Republicans love to paint Mamdani and look at others, and they’ll pick the new Washington mayor as a socialist, but the Democratic Party is a mainstream progressive party and AOC will be a force, but she’s not going to be that kind of a force.”<\/p>\n

WATCH: AOC LEAVES DOOR OPEN TO 2028 WHITE HOUSE BID: ‘MAYBE, MAYBE NOT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

As for whether a woman can win, he argued this is entirely possible, but as with a candidate of any identity, he said quality is what counts.<\/p>\n

“The country is ready for a female president if we put up a good candidate. We have not put up a good female candidate,” he said. “And I don’t know that that’ll be the case in 2028 or ’32.”<\/p>\n

As with other identities, such as Black, Jewish, or gay contenders, they can win “in state houses and I think with the right candidate, they do it in the national level, too.”<\/p>\n

“Well, also Hillary lost because of a distributional fluke,” Carville replied. “She carried the popular vote relatively easily, and she had bad distribution, bad turnout. Harris did not lose because she was a female. She did not lose because she was a female, a non-White female.”<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATIC STRATEGISTS SAY 2028 CANDIDATE ‘HAS TO BE A WHITE GUY’: REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The reason Harris lost<\/a>, Carville argued, was because she was seen as a continuation of the status quo of the Biden era, and the American people were desperate for change.<\/p>\n

Carville went on to say that while he is proud of the fact Democrats can nominate a diverse array of candidates, they must focus first and foremost on setting aside identity concerns and focus on electability.<\/p>\n

“So, I think a female could win easily. It almost happened before. It kind of should have happened,” he argued. “But also, I don’t think the party’s going to care if we nominate a White male either. I think that the lust for winning is just get somebody that can win this god— thing, and we’ll worry about everything else after.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I think you’re right,” Hunt replied.<\/p>\n
