From The Hill: Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville predicted Saturday that the 2026 midterm elections will be a “wipeout” for Republicans, with Democrats picking up 25 seats “at a minimum.”
“Frankly, it’s going to be a wipeout,” Carville told host Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News’s “Saturday in America.”
“Your viewers need to know that the Democrats are going to pick up at a minimum 25 seats, maybe as high as 45. In all likelihood, the Democrats will carry the Senate,” he added.
Carville was responding to an op-ed in the New York Times by David Plouffe, a former senior advisor to former President Obama, in which Plouffe argued Democrats had “no credible path to sustained control of the Senate and the White House.”
Carville also wildly claimed that President Trump was going to cancel the elections.
