Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville had a feisty response on Friday over the historic Democratic Senate primary election in Michigan.
Carville told CNN anchor Brianna Keilar during the fiery back-and-forth that he was skeptical about progressive Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and shifts within the Democratic Party after the historic upset this week.
"Yougot 48% in a primary," Carville said. "You'rebeing hailed on CNN as arevolutionary, complete tidalwave hitting the United States.It's the latest, greatest thingthat ever happened. And whatI'm saying right here is Iwould go a little bit slow — maybe if I was analyzing this."
He added that Democrats would have more work to do, arguing that El-Sayed and other more left-leaning candidates should "develop somepolitical skills that make youmore accessible to more voters."
"That's just me off the top ofmy head. But excuse me for notbeing on the bandwagon here,that this is a giant movement," Carville said.
