Ex-Clinton strategist James Carville says Trump will ‘get his fat a** beat’ by Joe Biden in wild interview
BILL Clinton's former political strategist has predicted in a wild rant that President Donald Trump will "get his fat a** beat" by Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election.
James Carville made the comments to John Melendez on the comedian's The Stuttering John Podcast on Thursday, adding that it's not a question of whether Biden will win against Trump in November, but by how much.
"He's gonna get his a** beat," he told Melendez.
"Alright, he's gonna get his fat a** beat. The question is by how much."
"If we want to go to the lethargic stuff, blah, blah, blah, worry about this, we can get 290, 295 electoral votes and it'll change nothing," Carville explained.
"If we go and take it to him and talk about what a massive fat figure he is, we can runaway with this thing. The idea is not to defeat Trump, we have to defeat Trump-ism."
The 75-year-old made similar claims during an MSNBC interview earlier this month, in which he asserted Trump's campaign aides were a "pack of grifters" who know he won't win the 2020 election.
"You don't have to worry about Republicans winning the election, you have to worry about them rigging it," Carville said on the podcast.
Carville, who also advised Hillary Clinton during her 2008 Democratic primary run, praised South Carolina Rep Jim Clyburn for endorsing Biden and credited him with "saving" the Democratic Party.
The endorsement was seen as helping the former vice president strengthen his support among black voters in Clyburn's state.
"That guy literally saved the Democratic Party..." Carville said of Clyburn.
A new election model by Oxford Economics has also predicted that Trump will suffer a "historic defeat" against Biden.
The group said Wednesday it believes the economic crisis and sky-high unemployment rate caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Amid predictions of a Trump defeat in November, Biden was criticized for comments he made on Thursday, in which he discussed the possibility of choosing a black woman as a running mate.
"I'll tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or for Trump, then you ain't black," Biden told radio host Charlamagne Tha God.
The Trump campaign slammed Biden's gaffe as "racist and dehumanizing", claiming Barack Obama's former VP "has a history of racial condescension".

"It is clear now more than ever, following these racist and dehumanizing remarks, that Joe Biden believes black men and women are incapable of being independent or free-thinking," said Katrina Pierson, a senior adviser to Trump's 2020 campaign and leader of Black Voices for Trump.
"Biden has a history of racial condescension and today he once again proved what a growing number of black Americans and I have always known - Joe Biden does not deserve our votes."
