Democratic strategist James Carville recently predicted that President Donald Trump will resign from office by next spring. Carville made this prediction during a Thursday night broadcast on NewsNation, where he argued that a combination of devastating midterm losses, advancing age, and mounting health issues will ultimately drive Trump to step down early and trade the presidency for a pardon.
Carville’s Theory
Carville believes Democrats will capture both the House and the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. Faced with a hostile Congress and the grueling realities of a gridlocked presidency, Carville argues Trump will simply lose interest in the job. He suggests the president will eventually cut a deal, trading his resignation for a presidential pardon to protect himself from congressional investigations and Democratic retaliation.
Carville pointed directly to Trump’s physical health, age, and stamina as major vulnerabilities. He also drew on his own political experience from the 1990s to explain how a devastating midterm defeat can break an administration’s spirit.
