CARVILLE: Winning is Everything, Stupid Directed by Matt Tyrnauer — Presented by the Special Projects Committee In May of 2023, a Washington Post/ABC poll revealed only 42% of likely voters favored Joe Biden's re-election, while 49% favored Former President Trump. "That poll knocked me right off my fucking horse," declared legendary Democratic political operative James Carville. Director Matt Tyrnauer's (Valentino: The Last Emperor, Where's My Roy Cohn?) CARVILLE: Winning is Everything, Stupid features intimate interviews and verité footage with Democratic Party luminaries such as Bill Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, Donna Brazile and famed Republican operative Mary Matalin — James's wife of over 30 years — who trace the story of his rise from the bayou to the Beltway, culminating in his masterminding of Bill Clinton's stunning presidential upset in 1992. Carville's biography is intercut with his present-day efforts to shape the Democratic Party and to get Joe Biden to step aside, a high-stakes gambit that puts him at odds with the very establishment he helped build.
