Carville: Biden ‘Has Nobody To Blame But Himself’ For Damaged Legacy
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville took aim at former President Joe Biden this week, asserting that he would be better off retreating to his residence in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and "staying there."
During a discussion on the "Politics War Room" podcast, Carville—who has often warned that Democrats are leaning too heavily into "woke" ideology and had previously criticized the party before the November election—placed the blame squarely on Biden for the public’s growing disinterest in his leadership.
"What he’s done to himself is no one wants to hear from this guy anymore. Okay, just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. And that’s not because we’re bad people or we’re mean people. It was all his doing. All his doing, this entire thing," Carville stated, adding that even the Democratic Party itself seemed uninterested in engaging with Biden.
Carville also dismissed Biden’s assertion that he could have won against Trump in November if he had stayed in the race.
"No one f***ing believes that at all!" he said emphatically.
He continued, "And then fighting with Jill Biden and Alexandra Pelosi. I mean, just look, guy — you had a noble career. Your last act was terrible. Just get out of the way. The party’s moving on. I mean, they’re really moving on, and it’s very sad, but that’s just where we are. And he created this himself. He has nobody to blame but himself. Nobody."
Carville stressed that Biden "really has no role to play in the national dialogue" and suggested that he should shift his focus toward fundraising efforts to establish a presidential library.
Furthermore, Carville argued that Biden’s continued political presence could be harmful moving forward.
WATCH:
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is taking direct action against former President Joe Biden’s far-left "climate" policies by issuing a series of executive orders aimed at boosting domestic fossil fuel energy production.
The newly introduced orders include a formal declaration of an "energy emergency," a move designed to shield the administration from certain legal challenges aimed at obstructing new drilling projects and other energy-related initiatives.
According to Just the News, "The breadth of the decisions may well be the most dramatic shift in U.S. energy policy since the response to the ban on oil exports from Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1973."
Upon assuming office, Biden signed multiple executive orders, including rejoining the Paris Agreement—an international accord focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Over the past four years, his administration rolled out various regulatory measures tied to his climate agenda, such as stringent appliance efficiency standards, a moratorium on liquefied natural gas export permits, and expanded Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations on power plants.
Trump’s "energy emergency" initiative seeks to prioritize domestic mining for critical minerals crucial to national security, fast-track approvals for energy extraction on public lands, and expedite the development of energy infrastructure. Another executive order establishes new directives for energy production in Alaska.
Additionally, a separate order promotes offshore drilling exploration and production, undoing one of Biden’s final measures targeting the fossil fuel industry. This directive also rescinds several of Biden’s climate-related executive orders, marking a significant policy reversal. Trump also withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement.
Jeff Reynolds, senior editor at Restoration News, theorized that Trump’s bold rejection of Biden’s climate policies is informed by hindsight. While Trump previously acknowledged the importance of domestic energy production and a business-friendly regulatory environment, Reynolds suggested that his first term was characterized by a more measured approach.
However, that restraint has since disappeared after witnessing the extent of the left’s policies under Biden’s leadership.
"Now he knows where the bodies are buried, and he’s ready to take a meat axe to everything that got in his way the first time," Reynolds told Just the News.
Trump’s aggressive series of pro-fossil fuel orders underscores his dedication to fulfilling his "drill, baby drill" campaign promises.
Still, energy expert David Blackmon, who provides analysis through his "Energy Absurdities" Substack, cautioned that despite these sweeping executive actions, a significant spike in U.S. energy production remains uncertain.
