"30 days 180 days, okay. It is collapsing right in front of you."TRUMP PENS LETTER TO GRIEVING MOTHER OF SLAIN CONGRESSIONAL INTERN: 'HELD IN MY HEART'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 whats happening, and you look at the current stuff thats coming in the public has revulsions against this."FOX NEWS CHANNEL DOMINATES ALL OF TELEVISION IN JULY, CNN HITS ROCK BOTTOM AMONG KEY DEMOHe pointed to Democratic candidates leading in upcoming elections, like the governors race in Virginia, saying that proves Trumps demise is underway."Do you know how much were going to win by in Virginia?" he asked. "Do you have any idea?""No, I dont," Abrams responded. "Its gonna be a lot," Carville declared. "Its 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 wasnt 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 didnt back down, stating, "Yes. I think there are theyre somewhere about 37% or 40% approval. Their economic numbers are terrible, are just terrible. And I think were running away with every election weve had. Were going to run away with Virginia. Were going to win New Jersey. Were starting to recruit every candidate that we want."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAbrams continued pushing, mentioning polling showing that Trump isnt exactly in the midst of collapsing."I pulled up the recent approval polling from The New York Times and Real Clear Politics, and the aggregation puts Trumps approval between 44 and 45.8, with 53 and 51.4 disapproval, as of August the 6th. Thats not a collapse. Thats basically a little bit above where he was."Carville dismissed the numbers, saying the polling for upcoming elections "in no way reflect that.""I dont want to get into saying this poll, that poll, this aggregate poll; but I look at like the UMass Amherst poll, I look at Gallup, I look at people like that. I see something completely different. Im very, very, very confident that this administration is going to be widely rejected in the elections coming up; and theyre gonna be particularly widely rejected in the elections in 2026," he said.One of Carville's more recent predictions didn't go so well. In the weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the political veteran was so convinced that Kamala Harris would win, he wrote a column for the New York Times titled, "Three Reasons Im Certain Kamala Harris Will Win."Carville's column slammed Trump as a "repeat electoral loser" and claimed "This time will be no different," while heaping praise on the Democratic nominee.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News' Marc Tamasco contributed to this report.
