James Carville Fears Election Tampering From Trump: 'I Don't Put Anything Past Him'
HuffPost
The Democratic strategist believes President Donald Trump will "see the writing on the wall" ahead of the midterms and do anything to stay in power.
James Carville says he wouldn’t “put anything past” Donald Trump in his bid to keep Democrats from winning back Congress in the upcoming midterm elections — even suggesting the president might cancel elections entirely to keep the GOP in power.
The longtime Democratic strategist offered his speculation on Tuesday’s edition of “The Jim Acosta Show,” in response to a viewer question about whether Carville is worried about potential vote tampering from Trump and his senior aide, Stephen Miller.
“In a short word, yes,” Carville answered. “In the longer words, very. OK? I think what may happen, he’s going to see the writing on the wall in Virginia — this is what I think is going to happen — and New Jersey also.”
“And he’s going to see retirements, and people are going to start coming in, and saying, ‘Since I know we’re getting ready to lose, I got to change and I got to get some distance,’” he continued. “And he’s going to see all that coming and I don’t put anything past him.”
Acosta argued that the president doesn’t want Democrats to regain control of the House and Senate, as that could trigger impeachment proceedings against him. Carville said “nothing” would surprise him, including Trump trying to fully “call the election off.”
