Democratic strategist James Carville said Thursday on his podcast “Politics War Room” that Vice President Kamala Harris must explain her previous far-left positions in her first interview as a presidential candidate.

“She’s going to have to answer for that, and I hope she has a comprehensive answer that takes all of those things into account. Because it’s an absolute truism of American politics that anyone who has ever heard a single statement from the identity left has regretted it. It’s just a fact, and she’s said some things that she has to answer for. I think she can. I don’t think it’s fatal. I think a bad answer would hurt her a lot,” Carville said. “But she has to answer for it. There’s no doubt about that.”

Harris has reversed her radical left-wing positions on several issues she advocated during her ill-fated 2019 presidential campaign, including immigration, fracking and private health insurance.

Carville’s co-host Al Hunt noted that he felt one thing was missing from the DNC: Harris had not commented on her 2019 campaign.

KAMALA HARRIS, TIME JOURNAL COVER GIRL: IS HER CALL AGAINST TRUMP DRIVEN BY AN ENDLESS MEDIA HONEYMOON?

“She no longer believes in some of her left-wing positions, she no longer believes in eliminating private health insurance, minimal border controls, a ban on fracking. She has made it clear that she no longer holds those views, she has wholeheartedly supported a bipartisan, hard border bill. She is for expanding the Affordable Healthcare Act instead of Medicare for All, but she needs to explain those changes,” Hunt said.

He added that Harris has “learned a lot” as vice president and her policies are now more realistic, and she will have the opportunity to explain this in her interview on Thursday.

Harris and Walz speak with CNN’s Dana Bash in their first joint interview as candidates. Harris has not sat down for a one-on-one interview with a reporter since she emerged as the Democratic nominee for the White House last month.

Carville has repeatedly sounded the alarm about far-left policies and the Democratic Party’s messaging, previously suggesting that “moralizing women” were to blame for the Democratic messaging’s problems and the party’s lack of male support.

“I suspect there are too many women lecturing. Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. It’s not good for you — the message is too feminine,” Carville said. “If you listen to the Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — all the talk is about how women and women of color are going to decide this election. I’m thinking, 48 percent of the voters are men. Would you mind if they showed some consideration?”

Carville also said the left was to blame for President Biden’s inaction on the border early in his presidency.

“Every time you listen to the left, you’re lost,” Carville said in June on Donny Deutsch’s podcast “On Brand.” “They came in, took this and that, and didn’t want to implement the policy from the beginning. And of course, the Western left, as always, is wrong.”
