Carville then advised Democrats to stay patient, suggesting that significant political shifts are just around the corner. “Hold your fire,” he urged, predicting that opportunities for victory will come easily in the next six weeks. He reassured his party, “Just lay back. It’s going to happen quickly.”
His remarks come amid criticism from Donald Trump, who recently took aim at Carville for challenging Fox News’ reporting on the president’s approval ratings.
During an appearance on Hannity, Carville had pointed to polling data that suggested Democrats were leading by a significant margin. He asserted, “I’m reading these polls saying the Democrats are 13 points up in the congressional generic, that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in his presidency in American history.”
“It’s over!” James Carville predicts the Trump administration is going to completely collapse in “less than 30 days”. He advises Dems to sit back and let it happen. (Video: SiriusXM/Mediaite) pic.twitter.com/bfA2bMF6pk

During a discussion, one side is presenting a certain perspective to viewers, while another version of the story is being read elsewhere. Clearly, only one of these narratives can be accurate. “So, your viewers are getting one view. And I’m reading another view. One of us is right and one of us is wrong. It’s that simple. Have they got fact checkers at Fox?”
Meanwhile, Trump responded on Truth Social, claiming he had never seen his poll numbers look better. He also took the opportunity to throw insults at Carville, calling him a “loser.”
“The Democrats, run by broken down losers like James Carville, whose weak of mind and body, are going crazy, and just don’t know what to do,” Trump wrote. “They have lost their confidence and spirit – They have lost their minds!”
