Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville made the case on Sunday’s episode of "Politics War Room" for why he thinks President Donald Trump will resign by Easter of 2027.

During their podcast, Carville and his co-host Al Hunt were asked if they think Trump, on some level, actually wants to lose the midterms so that he can play off grievances from Democrats.

"No way in the world, Danny," Hunt responded. "If he wanted to lose the midterms, why has he orchestrated all this gerrymandering, trying to fix results in those places? Why does he have his hitmen out there all over the country trying to discredit Democrats? He is petrified of losing these midterms. Not because of any legislative agenda, not because they'll stop this – because they're going to investigate him. And when they investigate him and they have the power of subpoena, you know what? He's done an awful lot of bad things."

"I don't think he's ever going to go to jail," Hunt added. "But I'll tell you, some of this stuff is really going to  what we know is awful. What they're hiding is even worse. So, you better believe he wants to win the midterms."

Carville, however, offered a more severe response, declaring, "Trump has no earthly idea of what's coming. They're not telling him. The vote against him in November is going to be, like, breathtaking."

"He's already bored," Carville added. "He can't stay awake. He says he's bored with the Iran war. He's — and I'm telling you, this guy by Easter of 2027 is just going to walk away from this job. Just gonna f---ing walk away because he doesn't have any idea of what it's going to be like when he comes to grips with the massive — I mean it's going to be massive rejection of him, anybody that has anything to do with him, anything that he has anything to do with."

While Carville has made this prediction before, saying Trump will resign and get Vice President JD Vance to take his place and pardon him, he hammered multiple times on this podcast that it will specifically happen before next Easter.

"And he's a soft man, and he gets distracted. He's obviously not well. He sleeps all the time, slobbers all over himself or whatever," Carville claimed. "I’m sticking by my thing, he won't last past Easter 2027. He — because he has no idea, and they just lie to him, and they try to keep s--- from him, and it's all going to come out, and it is going to be very ugly."

When reached for reply, White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital, "James Carville is a stone-cold loser who suffers from a severe and incurable disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it has rotted his peanut-sized brain."
