Carville Warns of Trump Threat to 2026 Midterms

Democratic strategist James Carville has warned that former President Donald Trump may attempt to tamper with or even cancel the 2026 midterm elections to prevent Democrats from regaining control of Congress. Speaking with Jim Acosta, Carville suggested Trump could resort to extreme measures, including election rigging or cancellation, to maintain Republican power and avoid potential impeachment. He pointed to upcoming state elections in Virginia and New Jersey as possible signals that could influence Trump's actions if Republican losses appear likely. Carville urged Democrats and the public to remain vigilant, citing Trump's previous efforts to challenge election results after 2020. Jim Acosta echoed these concerns, referencing Trump's history of aggressive political tactics. The warnings have heightened Democratic discussions about election integrity and safeguarding future elections.
