Carville doubles down after getting called out for predicting Trump admin collapse, says it’s happening ‘now'

During an appearance on journalist Dan Abrams’ podcast, James Carville doubled down on his February prediction that the Trump admin would collapse within 30 days. 

Democratic strategist James Carville insisted Thursday that he was right when he predicted the Trump administration would collapse 30 days into President Donald Trump’s second term.

During an appearance on journalist Dan Abrams’ podcast, Carville doubled down on his prediction when Abrams suggested that he got it wrong.

"I think it’s collapsing now," Carville told Abrams, who found it amusing. "30 days – 180 days, okay. It is collapsing right in front of you."

Abrams brought up the subject by playing a clip of Carville on his show in February, where he declared that the Trump administration was "collapsing" and would be falling apart within 30 days.

Abrams asked the strategist Thursday if he still stood by the prediction. 

Carville replied, saying he was "a pretty smart guy in February."

He defended the months-old prediction, stating, "You look at what’s happening, and you look at the current stuff that’s coming in – the public has revulsions against this."

He pointed to Democratic candidates leading in upcoming elections, like the governor’s race in Virginia, saying that proves Trump’s demise is underway.

"Do you know how much we’re going to win by in Virginia?" he asked. "Do you have any idea?"

"No, I don’t," Abrams responded. "It’s gonna be a lot," Carville declared. "It’s not going to be close."

A recent Virginia Commonwealth Poll from July has Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears at 37% and Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger at 49%. 

Still, Abrams wasn’t convinced. "But you said that you thought that this administration was in the midst of a collapse."

"I think it is. Yes, I do," Carville shot back.

"And you think you were right?" Abrams asked. 

Carville didn’t back down, stating, "Yes. I think there are — they’re somewhere about 37% or 40% approval. Their economic numbers are terrible, are just terrible. And I think we’re running away with every election we’ve had. We’re going to run away with Virginia. We’re going to win New Jersey. We’re starting to recruit every candidate that we want."
