President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign appeared to troll Democratic strategist James Carville on Saturday after he predicted Biden will not be on the ballot in November.
The president made a poor showing in Thursday’s presidential debate with GOP challenger Donald Trump.
Axios reported Saturday that Carville predicted Biden will not be on the Democratic ticket.
The Biden campaign responded by texting supporters with a note purporting to be from Carville.
“Hi, it’s James Carville,” it began. “I need you and Democrats everywhere to make a contribution to the Biden-Harris campaign ASAP. Help them defeat Donald Trump.”
The text included a link to a fundraising webpage.
Carville told the Washington Post in response: “Of all the glitches they made, I guess this is pretty minor. It didn’t bother me as much as the debate,” he said. “It’s kind of weird to see your name go out to half a million people.”
The report about the matter by Mediate.com did not include information about a request for comment from the campaign.
