Carville doubles down after getting called out for predicting Trump admin collapse, says it's happening ‘now'
Democratic strategist James Carville insisted Thursday that he was right when he predicted the Trump administration would collapse 30 days into President Donald Trump's second term. During an appearance on journalist Dan Abrams' podcast, Carville doubled down on his prediction when Abrams suggested that he got it wrong. "I think it's collapsing now," Carville told Abrams, who found it amusing. "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. Read On The Fox News App Carville replied, saying he was "a pretty smart guy in February." He defended the months-old prediction, stating, "You look at what's happening, and you look at the current stuff that's coming in – the public has revulsions against this."

"Do you know how much we're going to win by in Virginia?" he asked. "Do you have any idea?" "No, I don't," Abrams responded. "It's gonna be a lot," Carville declared. "It's 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 wasn't 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 didn't back down, stating, "Yes. I think there are — they're somewhere about 37% or 40% approval. Their economic numbers are terrible, are just terrible. And I think we're running away with every election we've had. We're going to run away with Virginia. We're going to win New Jersey. We're starting to recruit every candidate that we want."

"I pulled up the recent approval polling from The New York Times and Real Clear Politics, and the aggregation puts Trump's approval between 44 and 45.8, with 53 and 51.4 disapproval, as of August the 6th. That's not a collapse. That's basically a little bit above where he was." Carville dismissed the numbers, saying the polling for upcoming elections "in no way reflect that." "I don't 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. I'm very, very, very confident that this administration is going to be widely rejected in the elections coming up; and they're 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 I'm 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.

Exclusive: Dan Abrams raising money for new media startup
Dan Abrams is in talks to raise money for his new media company Bottle Raiders, a spokesperson confirmed to Axios. In an interview, Abrams said the company, which aggregates and pens its own reviews of liquor, aims to become the largest multi-platform spirits media business in the country. Why it matters: Abrams is a rare entrepreneurial success in media, but few people understand how vast his business empire is. State of play: Bottle Raiders is the third major media company founded by Abrams, who tends to bootstrap his ventures. Abrams launched the Law & Crime network in 2015. He sold it to creator company Jellysmack in a nine-figure deal in 2023, despite only raising a meager $5 million in outside investment. His popular news criticism site Mediaite, which launched more than 15 years ago, has never raised money. Abrams told Axios that the site is profitable and he has no plans to sell the outlet. Zoom in: In addition to his role as a digital media entrepreneur, Abrams is still heavily involved in radio and network TV. His coverage often leans into his legal expertise. He serves as ABC News' chief legal analyst and is a contributor at NewsNation. He hosts a radio show on SiriusXM and is the host and executive producer of "Court Cam" on A&E Network. He also hosts "On Patrol: Live," a reality docu-series that airs on the cable network Reelz. The big picture: Abrams says he's using the same playbook he used to build his other companies to make Bottle Raiders a success. That strategy includes picking a niche subject and investing in cross-platform coverage without raising too much cash, if any. Between the lines: Abrams, who is passionate about spirits and owns his own vineyard, has been quietly building Bottle Raiders for the past few years, he told Axios. The company launched a proprietary app last year that allows users to scan spirit bottles for ratings. While the site mostly focuses on tequila and and whiskey coverage, it's also trying to tap into a growing class of Americans who are turning to non-alcoholic spirits. Bottle Raiders last year acquired two events businesses, called Whiskey Washback and Arte Agave. This year it's expanding its event franchise from 14 events to 16 in new markets such as Los Angeles and Scottsdale, Arizona. What to watch: In September, Bottle Raiders will launch what it's calling the largest non-alcohol wellness festival in the country, featuring zero-proof spirits from more than 30 brands.
