Democratic strategist James Carville has made the bold prediction that President Donald Trump will “walk away” from the White House in less than a year.

Fierce Trump critic Carville made the claim on the latest episode of his Politics War Room podcast with journalist Al Hunt and predicted the president would exit office because of the “massive rejection” he believes Trump will suffer in the upcoming November midterm elections.

“I’m telling you, this guy, by Easter of 2027, is just going to walk away from this job,” Carville claimed. “Because he doesn’t have any idea of what it’s going to be like when he comes to grips with the massive…rejection of him.”

The campaign strategist for former President Bill Clinton cited that Trump has grown “bored” with negotiations to end the Iran war and how he “can’t stay awake” as other reasons why he believes the president will leave office prematurely.

Trump, who turned 80 on Sunday, often “gets distracted” and “won’t last past Easter of 2027,” Carville reaffirmed.

In response, the White House branded Carville a “stone-cold loser who suffers from a severe and incurable disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Carville has made similar predictions before. In April, he said that if the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, they will launch investigations into Trump and his family, which will eventually lead to the president’s resignation.

It comes as Trump has seen his approval ratings plummet during his second term, with particularly sobering numbers since launching the war in Iran.

Earlier this month, the president’s overall support hit an all-time low, with a net approval rating of about negative 25, according to polling from The Economist and YouGov. Trump’s net approval rating had recovered to negative 20 as of June 16 following the announcement of a deal with Iran to end the war.

The polling numbers, coupled with high inflation and the cost of living, have prompted some of Trump’s allies to voice concerns about the midterms.

E.J. Antoni, the chief economist at the Heritage Foundation and Trump’s former pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, pointed to the May Producer Price Index results, which measure inflation before it reaches consumers.

“There’s no way to sugarcoat this,” Antoni told Steve Bannon’s War Room last week. “They’re up at the fastest rate since the Biden administration, so again, not good news here.”

Daniel Kishi, senior policy adviser at American Compass, a conservative think tank aligned with Vice President JD Vance, told the Washington Post: “Whatever the objectives of the war in Iran, I think it’s obvious that it does pose near-term political costs.”

Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito told CNN last week that “people are really feeling it.”

“It’s not just gas prices, food prices, and other things, and I think there’s a level of frustration,” Moore Capito said.
