MS NOW host Ari Melber was left in disbelief Saturday after prominent Democratic strategist James Carville dropped a bold prediction about President Donald Trump.“I don't think Trump matters that much anymore. I think he's a washed up, fat, old man,” Carville said, appearing on MS NOW’s “The Beat: Weekend” program. “I think he's gonna have a massive loss in November, and I've said this repeatedly: I think he's going to walk away. I don't think he's capable of leading this country, I don't think he has the energy, I don't think he has the intellect.”A visibly taken aback Melber asked Carville to expand on his remarks.“What does 'walk away' mean?" Melber asked. “Are you trolling? You're trolling. You think he's gonna quit?”Carville confidently reiterated his prediction, clarifying that he did, in fact, believe Trump was poised to “walk away” from his presidential duties out of fear of facing a “massive” electoral defeat.“Yes, 'Walk Away Renée,' you're too young to remember that song, but it was a great song. He is going to walk away!” Carville claimed. “He is not skilled enough, he is not tough enough, he is not going to be able to deal with the massive defeat coming his way!”Carville's prediction of a rough November for Republicans lines up with recent polling.Democrats have held a lead of 3 to 4 points on the generic congressional ballot every week since spring, a reversal from a nearly 3-point GOP lead in January 2025.
