James Carville, a veteran Democratic strategist, called on his party not to focus on the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol in an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.

“They need to sell harder,” said Carville, who appeared on the program in support of the upcoming documentary “Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid.”

Carville, a lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, noted “all this misinformation” from Republicans and said Democrats need to “selectively pick” what to focus on within a month before Election Day.

“We talked about January 6 ad infinitum, ad nauseam,” he said. “We talked about who won the election. Leave it alone.”

Carville, on a recent episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast with Al Hunt, pointed out Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) echoing former President Donald Trump’s claim that he tried to “save” the Affordable Care Act during his administration .

“That’s about a huge issue with a law that’s important to people, OK, that has a huge bias against people thinking Democrats are better,” Carville said on the podcast.

“That’s an outright lie, okay, let me say it as clearly as I can, it’s not close. You can’t say, ‘Well, make one,’ no… why isn’t Harris talking about that himself today?”

He similarly urged Democrats on Wednesday to go after Vance’s “big lie.”

“Let Bill Clinton start doing news in every market, in every swing state, why – let Obama come out and say, ‘How dare he say this about our health care plan,’” Carville suggested.
