On Wednesday, Democratic strategist James Carville advised Kamala Harris to avoid campaigning on her personal background, which she found unremarkable because of its lack of a typical “all-American” narrative.
Carville, speaking on “Conversations with Bill Kristol,” highlighted Harris' good upbringing as a possible liability.

Her parents, who met at the University of California at Berkeley, included her mother, a research scientist, and her father, a professor at Stanford University, she said. The New York Times. “Her biography is not entirely American … she doesn't have a bootstraps story. I mean, I think she grew up relatively well off,” Carville said. “I mean, college professors don't starve. I don't know… She can talk about it, but I don't think her bio is… the kind of thing she's going to win this with. It's okay to talk— ne, the experiences he had.”

Carville suggested that Harris should focus on his professional accomplishments, such as his tenure as attorney general and district attorney. “I think if I were her, in terms of my past experience, I would talk more about being AG and being kind of a consumer advocate, and being a prosecutor and being tough on crime,” he said, adding a touch of sarcasm. about the current political climate. “It seems like right now, if I do say so myself. I've never been much for crime,” he joked.
Harris' campaign is reportedly aiming to present her as a strong law-and-order candidate in her run against former President Donald Trump.
The newspaper that calls also reported last Thursday that Carville made headlines again by urging Harris to reject the “progressive left,” suggesting his influence is overstated. “They don't have much power. I wish he would tell them all to screw up… Their power is totally exaggerated: they can't win an election outside of a D+25 district,” he remarked.
