Democratic strategist James Carville said Sunday that poll numbers showing the Democratic Party losing support among young minority voters are "horrifying" ahead of November's election.
"I've been very vocal about this," Carville said. "It's horrifying our numbers among younger voters, particularly younger Blacks, younger Latinos … younger people of color. Particularly males."
"We're not shedding them, they're leaving in droves," he added.
Last year, a Gallup survey found 66% of Black adults leaned or identified as a Democrat compared to 19% who said they either leaned or identified as a Republican, a 19-point dip from the advantage Democrats held in 2020 and the closest margin in at least 25 years.
This comes after Carville said in a recent interview with The New York Times that "preachy females" are to blame for Biden’s polling numbers.
