Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday warned Republicans that they’re going to pay a heavy price at the ballot box this year and next because of President Donald Trump’s unpopularity.
“I’m very, very, very confident that this administration is gonna be widely rejected in the elections coming up,” he told SiriusXM host Dan Abrams. “And they’re gonna be particularly widely rejected in the elections in 2026.”
The prediction came as the two debated a prediction Carville made in February: that the administration would suffer a “massive collapse” in public opinion within 30 days.
Carville insisted he was right, saying Trump now has a 37-40% approval rating with “terrible” marks for the economy.
“I think it’s collapsing now,” he said. “It is collapsing right in front of you.”
