On Saturday, Democratic strategist James Carville lashed out at “preachy females” within the Democratic Party, casting blame on them for the low polling of the Biden administration and other Democrat campaigns nationwide.

Carville told the New York Times (NYT) that “too many preachy females” has led to the Democratic Party’s declining popularity, saying that seeing President Joe Biden’s low approval numbers is like “walking in on your grandma naked.”

“You can’t get that image out of your mind,” Carville told the outlet.

Biden’s campaign had hoped that the president’s 2024 State of the Union address would approve polling, but his approval rating remains at a dismal 37%, a record low for this point in the presidency. Biden’s third-year presidency average approval rating is the second lowest in at least the last 50 years, only higher than President Jimmy Carter, and is several points lower than former President Donald Trump, according to Gallup.

Carville argued that the Democrats’ prioritization of “woke” policies as “feminine,” stating that this   is “killing us.” He warned Biden that the black vote was at risk, urging Democrats to change their focus as the general election approaches.

“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females,” Carville told the NYT. “‘Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”

“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election,” he continued. “I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?’”

Carville said that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump “projects energy” compared to Biden despite being “insane” and a “criminal,” according to the outlet.

“Now don’t tell me that Biden has more energy or cognition than Trump because it’s evident that, yeah, Trump’s got word salads, but he projects energy,” the Democratic strategist said.

Carville characterized Biden as a “tenacious guy” who “doesn’t even know what ‘woke’ is.” The Democratic strategist told the president to “soldier on and let the Democratic groups kick in.”
