Carville predicts Trump will quit office by Easter 2027
What's new: The Democratic strategist tied his forecast to a post-midterm backlash and said Vice President JD Vance could take over.
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville predicted on his "Politics War Room" podcast that President Donald Trump will resign by Easter 2027, arguing that a heavy backlash in the 2026 midterms would leave him politically cornered. Carville said Trump is unprepared for what he called a "massive rejection" of him and his allies in November and suggested he could eventually walk away from the presidency. Co-host Al Hunt disagreed that Trump wants to lose the midterms, arguing he is working aggressively to avoid investigations that could follow if Democrats regain power. The exchange revisited a claim Carville has made before that JD Vance could succeed Trump and issue a pardon.
