Carville Responds to Biden Campaign Using His Name to Fundraise After He Predicted President Will Drop Out of Race

[lapucelle]

11. It appears that Carville forgot that he gave the Biden campaign permission to use his name for fundraising.

From the WaPo story referenced in the Mediaite link:

Lauren Hitt, a Biden campaign spokesperson, said in a statement that Carville’s team “signed off on a robust fundraising package for our campaign including today’s message, and we’re grateful for everything he does to ensure that Joe Biden is re-elected to a second term.”

But Carville told The Post that he checked with his team, and they had no knowledge of it. The fundraising text, he said, “didn’t bother me as much as the debate.”

“Of all the glitches they made, I guess this is pretty minor,” he said. But he added: “It’s kind of weird to see your name go out to half a million people.”

Later Saturday night, the Biden campaign provided an email showing a representative for Carville approved the fundraising missives earlier this month.
