James Carville’s Statehood Scheme: The Mother of All Democrat Power Grabs

James “Ragin’ Cajun” Carville is at it again—this time pushing a political scheme so extreme it makes the Texas redistricting drama look like a game of Candy Land. On Fox News, Carville floated his dream scenario: granting statehood to both Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. And let’s be real—this has nothing to do with “fairness” or “representation.” It’s the ultimate Democrat gerrymander, a permanent power grab that would lock in four new Senate seats and tilt Congress blue for decades.
The playbook is obvious. D.C. votes over 90% Democrat, and Puerto Rico leans deep blue. Giving them statehood would be like spotting your own team a 20-point lead before the game even starts. Compared to this, Texas Democrats fleeing the state to block a vote is amateur hour. Carville’s plan is big-league election rigging, wrapped in the phony language of “democracy” and “equity.”
And he’s not stopping there. Carville also wants to pack the Supreme Court with 13 justices, stacking the bench with loyal leftists. Forget checks and balances—this is raw, unfiltered power politics. While Americans struggle with inflation, gas prices, and border chaos, Carville is daydreaming about rewriting the rules to make sure Democrats never lose again.
