James Carville admits about Biden what other Democrats refuse to say: 'And it's never going to get better'

Democratic strategist James Carville admitted on Saturday that President Joe Biden's refusal to sit for a Super Bowl interview is a telling "sign."

For the first two years of his presidency, Biden sat for an interview that aired before the Super Bowl, a tradition that began in earnest with Barack Obama in 2009. Last year, Biden refused the interview in what was widely believed to be a snub of the network broadcasting the Super Bowl, Fox. But this year, CBS broadcasted the event, and Biden still declined the interview.

The White House and Biden campaign justified the decision by claiming that Americans don't want politics mixed with sports. But Carville doesn't buy that excuse.

"It's the biggest television audience, not even close, and you get a chance to do a 20- to 25-minute interview on that day, and you don't do it," Carville noted.

"That's a kind of sign that the staff or yourself doesn't have much confidence in you — there's no other way to read this," he admitted, noting that Biden also does not want to debate Donald Trump before Election Day.

"He is old — I know what it is because I'm almost as old as he is — and it's never going to get better," Carville added. "Today is the youngest you'll ever be for the rest of your life."


The decision to skip the Super Bowl interview — whether or not the excuses are legitimate — has only fueled fears that Biden's cognitive decline is accelerating.

Even worse, Biden's refusal to be interviewed came during a week when he twice claimed to speak with dead world leaders, when he forgot the name of Hamas, and when special counsel Robert Hur released a report describing Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory."

It's no wonder, then, why more than three-fourths of voters and 86% of American adults overall are concerned about the 81-year-old commander in chief's age.

For his part, Carville has warned the Democratic Party about Biden's political vulnerabilities. But in his interview with CNN, Carville stopped short of saying that Biden should step aside.

Carville did, however, say that "it's never too late" to make a replacement.
