Democratic strategist James Carville said he wants nothing to do with the growing socialist wing of the party, insisting that “these people are not Democrats.” Carville’s comments follow three candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani winning their U.S. House Democratic primaries. Former NYC Comptroller Brad Lander defeated Rep. Dan Goldman in New York’s 10th Congressional District, Darializa Avila Chevalier upset Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the 13th district, and state Rep. Claire Valdez defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the 7th district. In particular, Carville took aim at Avila Chevalier. “She has attacked interracial relationships and the American flag. Lady, I ain’t in the same party as you,” Carville said. “I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the S word, schism,” he continued. “There’s just some s*** that I can’t be in the same tent with,” Carville said. “These people do not like Democrats. Not only are they not Democrats, they wish Democrats poorly,” he continued. “I’m done. I’m not in that f***ing political party,” he said. “I am totally comfortable in a political party that spends time questioning the policies of the government of Israel. I’m, in fact, I’m enthusiastic about that. I don’t want to be in a political party that denies the right of the State of Israel to exist,” Carville explained.

All of them were backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in what was considered a major test of his political influence and the strength of the city’s progressive movement overall. “We are showing there is a new path for politics in our city and in our country,” Mamdani said. “We are showing that last June, a year ago tomorrow, was not an anomaly. It was not the end. It was the beginning.” However, some in the Democratic Party believe success of the left could bring the party down. Democratic strategist James Carville thinks some critics of Tuesday’s results are being overly dramatic, calling their reactions “90% hysterical.” But he told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas on Wednesday that he doesn’t understand or appreciate these candidates’ efforts to use the Democratic Party to advance their socialist ideals. “All of these people hate Democrats,” Carville told Vargas. “Why do you want to run as a Democrat? Start your own movement. If it’s such a powerful, sweeping movement that’s got momentum everywhere, then go ahead and be at the head of it. Don’t use the Democratic Party to advance it.” “They should not seat her in the caucus. Her views are totally against anything that any Democrat has. We believe in pluralism,” Carville said regarding Avila Chevalier. Carville says he wouldn’t seat Mamdani-backed Avila Chevalier in caucus: ‘She’s not a Democrat’https://t.co/J7QYjld3Kd — The Hill (@thehill) June 25, 2026 CNN shared further: Top Democrats insist that they’re unfazed by the party’s forming a “Zohran Mamdani wing,” after the New York City mayor’s stunningly successful primary night. But there is growing angst among many sitting congressional Democrats after Mamdani allies won three primaries, including defeats of incumbent Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman. And, most immediately, they worry it will make it tougher to flip the House this year, with Republicans eager to tee up the Mamdani slate’s most controversial positions for attack ads in battlegrounds across the country. “Obviously, the socialists had a big win last night. The question is, are we going to let them take over the party? Or are we going to stand up and fight back?” said Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, a moderate Democrat who has criticized Mamdani’s politics and how he’s addressed allies of Israel. “Many of us believe, as I do, that if you’re a socialist, you’re not a Democrat.” Gottheimer and others worry that Republicans will try to yoke their most vulnerable members to what they see as far-left ultra-progressives — and they worry that it will only highlight Democratic divisions in a must-win election year. “If you ask me, it was not a good night for New York,” Rep. Greg Meeks, a powerful New York Democrat who is close with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, told CNN when asked about deleted posts from Darializa Avila Chevalier, who defeated Espaillat, expressing support for abolishing police, prisons and borders. Asked about the fraught relationship between the Democratic Socialists of America and the Democratic Party, Meeks added: “Instead of us making sure we put all of our resources to fight Republicans and to fight Donald Trump, we’re using it to fight each other. It just doesn’t make common sense to me.” Watch more below: The post “I Ain’t In The Same Party As You” – Prominent Democratic Strategist Wants “Schism” In Party After Mamdani-Backed Candidates Dominate NYC Primaries appeared first on 100PercentFedUp.com.
