Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville went head-to-head with Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg, slamming Hogg over his approach to securing wins for the party in upcoming elections.

“You want my strategy? It’s to win elections,” Carville told Hogg on Wednesday’s episode of “The Tara Palmeri Show.”

Tensions between Carville and Hogg mounted last month when the 25-year-old’s organization, Leaders We Deserve, announced plans to spend $20 million to elect younger Democratic primary challengers in traditionally safe, blue districts.

“What we’re saying is we need to make room for a new generation to step up and help make sure that we have the people that are most acutely impacted by a lot of the issues that we are legislating on — that are actually going to live to see the consequences of this,” Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, told The New York Times.

Hogg’s message did not sit right with the 80-year-old Carville, who called the plan “the most insane thing” in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“Does he really think the problem that we’re facing in the United States today is because we got 65-year-old Democrats in office? Why don’t you take on a Republican? That’s your job,” Carville said.

After weeks of intense disagreement, the two Democrats appeared on Palmeri’s show to debate their differences. Carville maintained his stance, calling Hogg’s plan to vote out sitting Democrats “jackassery of the highest level.”

“There’s no nuance to it,” Carville said. “It’s just flat-out wrong. That’s money that could be used to beat Republicans.”

Hogg responded that his plan is, in part, meant to address the sinking approval rating within the Democratic Party.

“I worry if we don’t address the approval rating that we have right now from our own base, it’s going to be a lot harder to win back the House, so what do we do to address that?” Hogg asked.

The two eventually found some areas of agreement, including their belief that President Joe Biden should have dropped out of the 2024 presidential election sooner. Hogg said he regrets not calling for Biden to drop out in 2023, something Carville said he did in 2022.

“Frankly, that’s one of my biggest regrets, is not saying that, and I’m thankful that you did, James, and I’m not going to forget that mistake that I made, and that’s why I’m trying to speak out now and do what I think is right in this moment,” Hogg said.

“Don’t feel bad,” Carville said. “If I would have been you, I would have never done this, if I’d have been 25 years old and wanted some future in Democratic politics. I was able to do it because there was nothing they could do to me.”

As Carville reassured Hogg, Palmeri exclaimed, “Aw!”

Carville praised Hogg on X following the episode, writing, “The DNC needs him.”
