(FILES) US President Bill Clinton and friend James Carville laugh July 18, 1999, during a working dinner at the White House in Washington, DC. Carville steered Bill Clinton to the White House in 1992 with a campaign best remembered for his pithy motto: it's "the economy, stupid." Now 79, the "Ragin' Cajun" -- nicknamed for his forthright opinions and humble Louisiana roots -- is no longer inside the Democratic war room, but his influence remains outsized. Carville infuriated Democrats by loudly insisting for months that President Joe Biden was too old to run again. Speaking to AFP, he said he believes Democratic candidate Kamala Harris can win the US presidency by again following his famous motto, and becoming "more aggressive" with attacks on Donald Trump's economic record.
