The veteran democratic strategist James Carville predicts that others within his party will follow the governor of California Gavin Newsom by denouncing transgender athletes who participate in female sports.
Newsom made the headlines earlier this month about his pivot to oppose biological men participating in female sports, calling “deeply unfair” in a conversation of Podcast with the founder of Turning Point Usa Charlie Kirk.
“I think it’s a view that most Americans have,” Carville reacted in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“I am not so big in the meeting on the state track, but sports administrators can understand this,” he continued. “This is not a major problem for me, and we have taken a lot of water for something we did not go [address]. “”

A survey conducted by the New York Times in January revealed that almost 80% of Americans oppose organic men in female sports, including 67% of the Democrats.
Carville sounded the alarm on the unpopular position that Democratic officials have adopted on the issue.
James Carville says that the Democrats broke his “first command of politics” with anti-Trump buffoonery
“If you think the problem is so important, then you have to convince people,” said Carville. “They tell the people we have to be courageous and be for that. Why don’t you change public opinion and don’t win an election, and you might be able to reach your goal? But at the moment, the public does not want it. And you are asking Democrats to do this. And everything you do-they are not going to change in the short term. And everything you do is help the opposition.”
“Newsom said. [Massachusetts Democratic Rep.] Seth Moulton said it. I suspect that you are going to get out more, “he added.

Although it is a rare 80-20 problem for Americans, Democrats continue to plead for unpopular opinion. Earlier this month, Senate Democrats blocked a bill that would prohibit transgender athletes from participating in female sports.
But Carville did not think that his party was wrong by blocking the bill.

“I think it’s a problem with sports associations,” said Carville. “The governor of Utah, well, the governor Cox – they gave him an anti-Trans sports bill. And he said, “Listen, I have 100,000 secondary athletes in the state of Utah. I have four who are trans. This is not my problem. Someone said 50,000 female athletes in the NCAA and maybe six [are transgender]. Let the NCAA understand it. This is not a problem of state legislature. Let the Olympic Games face it. “”
