    Trump Ties FEMA Funding To New Election Security Rules

    The Trump administration announced Friday that states will have to adopt a series of federal election security measures to receive certain Federal Emergency Management Agency grant funding, marking the latest effort to influence how states administer elections ahead of the 2026 midterms.

    The Department of Homeland Security said recipients of FEMA-administered homeland security grants will be required to implement what it called “common-sense election security measures” before receiving funding.

    “These new requirements for homeland security grant recipients will preserve election integrity and ensure that Americans can trust the results,” Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement.

    Funding tied to election changes

    According to FEMA grant guidance, up to 20% of funding under the State Homeland Security Program and the Urban Area Security Initiative may be withheld until states certify compliance with the administration’s election security requirements. The affected grant programs distribute roughly $1 billion annually for terrorism prevention, cybersecurity, emergency preparedness, and critical infrastructure protection.

    Among the requirements are:

    • Verification of the citizenship of registered voters and election workers.
    • Documentation of election audits.
    • Plans to transition jurisdictions that rely on barcode- or QR code-based ballot tabulation toward hand-marked paper ballots.

    The administration has argued that election infrastructure is part of the nation’s critical security framework and that stronger safeguards are necessary to bolster public confidence in election results.

    States question federal authority

    Election administration has historically been handled by states, and several state officials and election law experts have questioned whether the executive branch has the legal authority to condition homeland security grants on changes to state voting procedures.

    The announcement follows a series of recent actions by the administration aimed at reshaping election administration, including Justice Department letters requesting voter registration records from all 50 states and President Donald Trump’s removal of the remaining commissioners of the bipartisan U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

    Legal challenges expected

    The new FEMA conditions are expected to face legal scrutiny.

    Courts have already blocked portions of previous Trump administration efforts to impose nationwide election rules through executive action, with judges finding that the Constitution grants states broad authority over the administration of elections absent congressional action.

    Whether the administration can ultimately enforce the new grant conditions may depend on future court rulings. In the meantime, states seeking the affected homeland security funding will have to decide whether to comply with the new requirements or challenge them in court.

    Trump Sends Powerful Message By Refusing To Sign Housing Bill

    President Donald Trump is making a political statement without stopping one of Congress’ biggest bipartisan victories.

    Rather than signing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, Trump is allowing the sweeping housing package to become law automatically, using the moment to protest the Senate’s refusal to advance his preferred voter ID legislation.

    “I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump wrote on social media.

    Housing bill takes effect anyway

    Trump’s decision doesn’t derail the legislation. Under the Constitution, a bill becomes law if a president neither signs nor vetoes it within 10 days, excluding Sundays, while Congress remains in session.

    The bipartisan package is considered one of the most significant housing reforms in decades. Among other provisions, it seeks to increase home construction, speed up environmental reviews, expand financing opportunities, encourage manufactured and modular housing, and curb certain institutional purchases of single-family homes.

    Lawmakers approved the measure by overwhelming margins — 85-5 in the Senate and 358-32 in the House — giving it more than enough support to survive a veto.

    Election integrity remains Trump’s priority

    Trump has made clear that his focus remains on the SAVE America Act, which would establish nationwide voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections.

    Although the House approved the bill, it has stalled in the Senate, where Republicans do not have enough votes to break a filibuster.

    The president previously canceled a White House signing ceremony for the housing legislation, calling it a “big yawn” compared with the push for election integrity.

    A message to Congress

    Behind the scenes, Trump’s move reportedly caught Republicans off guard. Many had hoped to showcase the housing bill as a marquee accomplishment before the 2026 midterm elections, only to see it overshadowed by the president’s renewed push for voter ID legislation.

    Instead, Trump chose a different strategy. By letting the bill become law without his signature, he avoided a veto fight while keeping public attention on his demand that Congress move forward with nationwide voter ID legislation.

    The episode underscores Trump’s determination to keep election reform at the forefront of the national debate as Republicans head into the final stretch of the 2026 midterm campaign.

    Johnson Reveals His Next Move On The SAVE America Act

    WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans are preparing another attempt to send the SAVE America Act to President Donald Trump’s desk, this time by packaging the election integrity legislation into a future budget reconciliation bill that could bypass the Senate filibuster.

    Johnson made the remarks during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” telling Shannon Bream that the bill remains one of the White House’s top priorities and pledging that the House will take it up again after passing it three previous times.

    Johnson Eyes Reconciliation Strategy

    “We’re going to try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill,” Johnson said. “I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate, and finally, to the president’s desk.”

    WATCH:

    The SAVE America Act would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The House approved the measure in February, but it has repeatedly stalled in the Senate, where Republicans lack the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster.

    Johnson acknowledged that reality, saying there is “zero chance” seven Senate Democrats would support the bill under the chamber’s normal rules.

    Trump Continues To Push Election Bill

    Johnson said President Trump considers the legislation a top priority and has encouraged congressional Republicans to continue pursuing it.

    The speaker said Republicans are developing another reconciliation package that would combine election integrity measures with budget-related provisions in hopes of qualifying for the Senate’s reconciliation process, which requires only a simple majority for passage.

    Johnson has previously suggested tying election integrity provisions to a federal grant program for states, arguing that such a structure could satisfy reconciliation rules while encouraging states to adopt stricter voting standards.

    House Conservatives Press Leadership

    The issue has exposed divisions within the House Republican conference in recent weeks.

    A group of conservative Republicans temporarily blocked House business after demanding the SAVE America Act be attached to must-pass legislation, including the annual National Defense Authorization Act. Johnson ultimately agreed to merge the election bill with the defense package before sending it to the Senate, though he acknowledged the Senate could later remove the provision.

    Johnson defended his handling of the dispute, saying House Republicans remain united behind the goal of enacting the legislation despite disagreements over strategy.

    Senate Outlook Remains Uncertain

    Whether the proposal can ultimately pass through reconciliation remains an open question.

    Senate Republicans have expressed differing views on pursuing another reconciliation package, and reconciliation rules generally limit legislation to provisions directly affecting federal spending, revenues, or the debt.

    Still, Johnson said he is confident House Republicans can assemble a package that Senate Republicans will support.

    “We’re planning to send over a bill that will be irresistible for any Republican,” he said, arguing it would promote affordability, reduce government waste and strengthen election integrity.

    Trump Unloads After Socialist Sweep Leaves Democrats In Chaos

    President Donald Trump is crowing after a stunning series of Democrat primary upsets in New York left establishment Democrats shell-shocked and exposed deep cracks inside their party.

    The political earthquake came Tuesday night as three candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — a democratic socialist whose rise has already rattled Democrat leaders — swept congressional primaries, knocking off establishment favorites and fueling fears that the party is drifting sharply left.

    Trump wasted no time piling on.

    “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!” Trump declared on Truth Social Wednesday morning.

    The president later mocked defeated Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), one of the Democrats most closely associated with Trump’s first impeachment.

    “Weak and pathetic Congressman Dan Goldman just lost, BIG!” Trump wrote Tuesday night. “I guess people didn’t like him illegally targeting President TRUMP.”

    Goldman, who served as lead counsel during Democrats’ first impeachment effort against Trump in 2019, was crushed by former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a progressive backed by both Mamdani and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Lander defeated the incumbent by more than 30 points in New York’s deep-blue 10th Congressional District.

    Trump wasn’t finished.

    “Even though he tried unsuccessfully to prosecute me, and despite the fact that he is a major Slimeball, I feel sorry for FORMER Congressman Dan Goldman,” Trump wrote Wednesday. “He is wandering aimlessly … through a large field of Dumocrat Communists.”

    The New York primary results sent shockwaves through Democratic circles far beyond Manhattan.

    Along with Lander’s victory, Democratic Socialist candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier also won their respective primaries, creating what some Democrats described as a socialist takeover of key New York races.

    Axios dubbed the results a “socialist earthquake” that could dramatically increase the influence of Democratic Socialists of America-aligned lawmakers in Congress.

    The biggest warning sign for Democrats may have come from one of their own.

    Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, increasingly isolated from the party’s activist wing, blasted the results during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News.

    “It’s just been the dancing days of the dirt bag Left,” Fetterman said. “Some of these candidates are outrageous.”

    “You have candidates they want to abolish ICE, abolish the police, abolish the border.”

    Fetterman warned that socialist activists are “declaring a war on just regular Democrats.”

    “They’re all socialists, of course, and now there’s a communist and now a Marxist,” he added. “That’s not even looked down on, and it’s a significant part of the Democratic Party right now.”

    The Pennsylvania Democrat also argued that anti-Israel activism has become a driving force in Democratic primaries.

    “Hate for Israel has become the center of a lot of these primaries across the country,” Fetterman said. “Definitely what we’re witnessing in New York City.”

    “Now that’s going to become the lesson that the Democratic Party is going to continue to be anti-Israel, and I’ll be the one that’s going to continue to lean in and be proud to stand with Israel.”

    The results also represented a humiliating setback for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who backed several of the losing establishment candidates.

    Jeffries endorsed Goldman and other incumbents who were swept aside by candidates aligned with Mamdani’s rapidly expanding political machine.

    Moderate Democrats are increasingly worried the victories could hand Republicans a potent weapon heading into the 2026 midterms.

    New York Post columnist and CNN commentator Van Jones described Mamdani’s operation as more than just a progressive movement, calling it a political machine capable of reshaping the Democratic Party from the ground up.

    Republicans are already framing the results as proof that the Democrat Party is falling under the control of socialists and anti-capitalist activists.

    “Tonight wasn’t just a bad night for so-called ‘Leader’ Hakeem Jeffries,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Marinella said after the results became clear. “It was the night the Democrat establishment officially surrendered to Zohran Mamdani and the socialist wing of their party.”

    “Americans should be terrified by where the Democrat Party is headed.”

    For Trump, who has long argued that Democrats are embracing socialism, the New York results handed him fresh ammunition.

    Former Navy SEAL Sniper Falls Short as Trump-Backed Barry Moore Cruises to Alabama Senate Nomination

    President Donald Trump’s political kingmaker status scored another win Tuesday night as Rep. Barry Moore steamrolled former Navy SEAL sniper Jared Hudson in Alabama’s Republican Senate runoff, delivering yet another victory for a candidate carrying the Trump seal of approval.

    Moore, a Freedom Caucus firebrand and one of Trump’s earliest supporters dating back to the 2016 campaign, defeated Hudson in the race to replace retiring Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is leaving the Senate to run for governor. The win positions Moore as the overwhelming favorite heading into November in deep-red Alabama.

    “The greatest days of Alabama are ahead of us,” Moore told supporters during his victory speech, thanking Trump for his endorsement and calling him “the greatest president of my lifetime.”

    The race was widely viewed as another test of Trump’s influence over Republican primary voters — and once again, the president’s preferred candidate came out on top.

    Hudson, a decorated combat veteran and former Navy SEAL sniper, tried to position himself as a political outsider capable of shaking up Washington. The former sheriff’s deputy, firefighter, small-business owner, and anti-human trafficking advocate advanced to the runoff after narrowly edging out Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall in the primary.

    But despite endorsements from several conservative heavyweights and a late surge in some polling, Hudson couldn’t overcome Moore’s institutional backing or Trump’s endorsement.

    Moore also secured support from Vice President JD Vance and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, giving establishment Republicans and MAGA loyalists a rare point of agreement.

    The Alabama showdown is just the latest example of Trump’s continued dominance in GOP primaries ahead of the 2026 midterms.

    On the same night, Trump-backed Georgia Rep. Mike Collins won his state’s Republican Senate runoff and will now face Democrat Jon Ossoff in one of the nation’s marquee Senate races.

    Republican candidates endorsed by Trump have also scored major victories this cycle in several high-profile contests, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s defeat of longtime Sen. John Cornyn and Louisiana Rep. Julia Letlow’s successful Senate bid.

    Still, Trump’s endorsement record hasn’t been flawless.

    Georgia Republicans delivered one of the biggest surprises of the cycle Tuesday when billionaire businessman Rick Jackson defeated Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the state’s gubernatorial runoff, handing the president one of his rare primary losses this year.

    Even with that setback, Alabama’s results underscore a reality that has become increasingly difficult for Republican hopefuls to ignore: when Trump picks a side, GOP voters usually follow.

    Moore will now advance to the general election, where he’ll face Democrat Everett Wess, who emerged victorious in the Democratic runoff Tuesday night. But in a state Trump carried comfortably and Republicans dominate statewide, Moore enters the fall campaign as the clear favorite to keep the seat in GOP hands.

    Trump-backed Candidates Win Big In Indiana

    President Donald Trump just sent a thunderous warning shot to the GOP establishment — and Indiana Republicans who crossed him are paying the price.

    In a stunning early midterm showing, Trump-backed primary challengers are on track to topple at least five of the seven Indiana state senators who defied the president last year on a controversial redistricting vote, according to ABC News.

    The races, usually ignored by national media and flooded with only modest cash, suddenly became political war zones after Trump vowed revenge against Republicans who sided with Democrats to block a congressional map overhaul designed to strengthen GOP power in Washington.

    And voters appear to have listened.

    The seven targeted incumbents were among 21 Republican state senators who broke ranks last year and voted against the mid-decade redistricting proposal — a move that infuriated Trump and his allies.

    Now, most of them are heading for the exits.

    One incumbent, state Sen. Greg Goode, narrowly survived against a Trump-endorsed challenger. Another, state Sen. Spencer Deery, remained locked in a razor-thin battle late Tuesday night against Trump-backed Paula Copenhaver.

    But nearly everywhere else, Trump’s handpicked candidates surged to victory.

    Even in a district where the anti-redistricting incumbent chose not to seek reelection, the Trump-endorsed candidate was projected to win — underscoring the president’s growing influence deep inside Republican state politics.

    Trump celebrated the victories Tuesday night with a flurry of triumphant social media posts highlighting the winning candidates alongside his own image — a clear signal that he sees the results as a major political flex heading into the 2026 midterms.

    The outcome is especially notable because these races became some of the most expensive state Senate primaries Indiana has seen in years. Trump-aligned groups and outside organizations poured millions into defeating the incumbents, overwhelming candidates who were unprepared for a nationalized political assault.

    The clashes also exposed lingering divisions inside the Republican Party.

    In one closely watched contest, former Vice President Mike Pence backed incumbent state Sen. Jim Buck, breaking publicly with Trump. But Pence’s support wasn’t enough. Trump-endorsed challenger Tracey Powell defeated Buck decisively Tuesday night.

    The Indiana results are likely to energize Trump allies nationwide, who see the victories as proof that Republican voters remain fiercely loyal to the president — and willing to punish GOP officials viewed as disloyal.

    For establishment Republicans hoping Trump’s grip on the party might weaken ahead of the midterms, Indiana delivered a very different message.

    Report: Youngkin’s Trump White House Hopes Dim After Virginia Setback

    The political fallout from Virginia’s redistricting referendum is reaching beyond the state, cutting into Glenn Youngkin’s standing at a moment that matters for his future.

    In recent weeks, the former governor had been floated as a possible pick for a Trump administration role, with secretary of labor among the positions mentioned. He was seen as a Republican who could point to a win in a blue-leaning state and bring a different profile into a national cabinet.

    That window now looks narrower.

    Timing Undercuts Momentum

    The criticism from inside GOP circles is landing at a particularly inconvenient time for Youngkin.

    According to Politico’s Dasha Burns, administration officials are blaming him for not doing enough to stop the redistricting measure, which passed by a slim margin and could shift up to four House seats toward Democrats. It’s the kind of loss that gets noticed in Washington, especially when control of the House is on the line.

    And it’s not just about the outcome. It’s about perception.

    A senior official, speaking anonymously, put it bluntly: “He doesn’t have enough friends here.” That comment points to a problem that goes beyond one referendum. It suggests Youngkin lacks the internal support that often decides who gets a seat at the table.

    Burns continues:

    Becca Glover, executive director of Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC, defended the former governor’s efforts, noting he raised and contributed nearly $500,000 to Virginians for Fair Maps and supported the Congressional Leadership Fund and Fair Maps’ fundraising efforts.

    “The governor hit the campaign trail making many stops across the Commonwealth from Wise to Virginia Beach to Leesburg to motivate the grassroots to vote no,” Glover said. “He was proud to be part of a team including Speaker [Mike] Johnson and other former governors to get out the vote.”

    Glover also pointed to the dozens of interviews Youngkin did and his efforts at retail campaigning.

    “He continues to ask that the Supreme Court of Virginia to strike down this unconstitutional power grab,” Glover said.

    A source briefed on White House discussions pushed back, saying Youngkin’s actions helped set the stage for the current difficulties facing him and his party in Virginia.

    “Look, there’s plenty of blame to go around. But if Youngkin hadn’t left the special session open, Louise Lucas would never have had the chance to ram through those maps,” the person said, referring to the Democratic state senator who played a key role in advancing the redistricting effort. “So he has some responsibility for losing these seats.”

    From Rising Star to Question Mark

    Youngkin’s appeal to national Republicans has always been tied to his 2021 victory and his ability to win in a competitive state without fully leaning into Trump-style politics.

    But that brand cuts both ways.

    Inside a Trump-aligned orbit, relationships and loyalty still carry more weight than résumé lines. Another loss in Virginia, even one tied to a ballot measure, gives skeptics more reason to question how much influence Youngkin really has, both at home and in the broader party.

    That matters when administration roles are being discussed behind closed doors.

    Fewer Openings, More Competition

    Even under the best conditions, cabinet-level positions are limited and highly competitive. Candidates need more than a strong narrative. They need advocates inside the administration willing to push their case.

    Right now, the signals suggest Youngkin doesn’t have that backing.

    The criticism tied to the referendum may not be decisive on its own. But combined with lingering doubts about his connections in Washington, it adds friction at the worst possible time.

    Legal Battle Erupts After Judge Halts Virginia Redistricting Certification

    Virginia’s attorney general is appealing a court order that halted a newly approved redistricting plan, setting off another legal clash with potential ripple effects far beyond the state.

    Attorney General Jay Jones said he will challenge a circuit court judge’s decision to block the measure, even after voters narrowly approved it in a statewide referendum.

    “As I said last night, Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote,” Jones said. “We look forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in court.”

    Court steps in after close vote

    The dispute centers on a temporary constitutional amendment that would allow Democrats to redraw Virginia’s congressional districts before the next census.

    The measure passed with 51% support, compared with 48% opposed. Still, Tazewell County Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. moved to block it, raising concerns about how the question was presented to voters and when the vote was held.

    Hurley had already tried to stop the referendum months earlier. In February, he issued an order preventing the April vote from going forward.

    Twice, the Virginia Supreme Court allowed the process to continue anyway. The justices declined to weigh in fully, saying only that the process, not the outcome, could ultimately come under review.

    “Issuing an injunction to keep Virginians from the polls is not the proper way to make this decision,” the court said at the time.

    What the new map could do

    If it stands, the plan could dramatically reshape Virginia’s congressional delegation.

    Democrats currently hold a 6-5 edge. Under the proposed map, that margin could widen to as much as 10-1. The arrangement would remain in place until after the 2030 census, when an independent commission would again take over the process.

    That potential shift is drawing attention from both parties nationwide.

    National fallout and political warnings

    Republicans say the move could trigger similar efforts in GOP-led states.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested South Carolina should consider a response.

    “After the Virginia Democrats’ efforts to redistrict in order to increase Democrat seats in the House of Representatives, South Carolina should consider fighting fire with fire,” he said, urging state leaders to weigh their options.

    Democrats, meanwhile, argue the plan is a reaction to earlier redistricting pushes in Republican-controlled states.

    Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Virginia voters understood the stakes.

    “When we found the results out, I was really excited but not surprised,” she said. “Because it’s been clear for a number of months that Virginians were really motivated to take this temporary responsive stance.”

    She pushed back on criticism that the process lets politicians choose their voters, pointing to public access to the maps and contrasting Virginia with states where legislatures acted without voter input.

    A broader fight over redistricting

    The debate is part of a larger, escalating battle over congressional maps.

    House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries cast the Virginia vote as a direct response to pressure from President Donald Trump, pointing to his push for mid-decade redistricting in Texas as the starting point.

    “It was important for Democrats to push back aggressively,” Jeffries said, adding that the party would continue to respond in kind.

    But not all Democrats are comfortable with that approach.

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) warned that tit-for-tat redistricting could damage the political system.

    “The wrong thing doesn’t make it the right thing,” he said. “If we continue to just attack the other side … our democracy is degraded.”

    What comes next

    For now, the legal fight returns to the courts, where the future of the voter-approved plan remains uncertain.

    At stake is more than Virginia’s map. The outcome could shape how far states are willing to go in redrawing districts mid-decade and how aggressively parties respond to each other in the process

    Political Strategist Says Democrats Will Target Trump’s Family After Midterms

    Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is escalating his rhetoric against President Donald Trump, warning that Democrats will aggressively target not just the president—but his family—if they win back power in the 2026 midterms.

    In a new video this week, Carville predicted sweeping GOP losses in November, framing the expected outcome as a political knockout that would leave Trump exposed to a wave of investigations.

    “Let’s talk about your future, your post-November future,” Carville said, anticipating widespread defeat of Trump and the GOP. “The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

    “They’re going to start going after you. Then they’re going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is,” he continued. “Then they’re going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses and all the other bulls— that you see, and they’re going to investigate the s— out of you.”

    The comments build on a broader—and increasingly aggressive—set of predictions from Carville, who has repeatedly argued that Democrats are poised for major midterm gains. Across multiple recent appearances, he has claimed Republicans are heading toward significant losses, citing voter frustration over inflation, dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership, and fallout from the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict.

    Carville has gone even further, suggesting those losses could trigger a chain reaction inside Washington: Democratic control of Congress, immediate impeachment proceedings, and a flood of investigations into Trump’s finances, conduct in office, and inner circle.

    Trump himself has warned that a Democratic victory would lead to exactly that scenario, arguing that impeachment and investigations would follow quickly if Republicans lose control of the House or Senate.

    Carville, however, is not just predicting investigations—he is openly embracing them. He has previously urged Democrats to center their messaging on accountability, including proposals for commissions to examine alleged “war profiteering” tied to the Iran conflict, which he has called a “catastrophe of the first order” and a “racket war.”

    In his latest remarks, Carville also raised the possibility that Trump could face scrutiny beyond U.S. borders.

    “When it comes to the stuff you’re doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line,” Carville warned. “And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts and I think it’s in Hog or Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your a–, not gonna protect you.”

    He added that Trump’s political support could quickly erode—even within his own party—if Republicans suffer major defeats.

    “You know who’s going to turn on you?” Carville asked. “What’s left of the Republican senators.”

    Carville has repeatedly floated a dramatic endgame: that the mounting pressure—from investigations, impeachment threats, and political isolation—could ultimately push Trump to resign early and seek a pardon from Vice President JD Vance. Still, he has argued that even a presidential pardon would not shield Trump from state-level or international legal exposure.

    “I got news for you, dude. You’re done,” he said. “And we’re going to enjoy watching your downfall. Thank you very much.”

    The White House quickly fired back. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson said, “James Carville is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

    Carville’s latest comments are consistent with his long track record of blunt—and often controversial—political predictions. In recent years, he has repeatedly forecast Trump’s political collapse, including predicting a Democratic victory in 2024 and even suggesting Trump’s second administration would “collapse in 30 days.”

    Now, with the 2026 midterms approaching, Carville is once again making a high-stakes call—this time not just about electoral outcomes, but about what he believes will be an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to investigate Trump, his family, and those closest to him if Democrats take back power.

    Pelosi Leaves Door Open To Impeachment If Dems Retake Power

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declined to rule out a future impeachment effort against President Donald Trump if Democrats regain control of Congress, leaving the decision to a potential new majority while emphasizing that the party’s immediate focus remains on policy priorities.

    In an interview Tuesday with MSNBC’s Ali Vitali, Pelosi was pressed on whether Democrats would consider impeaching Trump during his second term, particularly amid ongoing voter concerns about “corruption.” While she did not directly endorse such a move, Pelosi made clear that the possibility would ultimately depend on the actions of a future Congress.

    “Well, I think that, I’m not, that’s just not where we’re starting with this, but when we get power, we will have power to go there to do what we said we’re going to do, lower the cost of living. Some people say you should use other language, but lower the costs of living, A. B, fix what they have done to the healthcare system with their trillion dollars from Medicaid, half a trillion dollars for Medicare, and the money from SNAP. I do believe that food is medicine as well, especially for children, and again fight their corruption. So that’s what we’re setting out to do,” Pelosi said.

    Recent polling has fueled speculation about a potential shift in power. Several surveys show Republicans facing a difficult midterm environment, with Democrats gaining ground in key battleground districts and generic ballot polling tightening or tilting left. That has raised the stakes of questions about what Democrats might do if they reclaim the House.

    Vitali followed up, asking Pelosi directly whether she believes Trump has committed impeachable offenses in his second term.

    “We have a convicted felon who’s president of the United States. That was then, this is now. I think, that that’s subject to review. But I don’t think that’s something, that’s not where you start. That’s what you have to do because of what he has done. That’s subject a great review. We had great review as to what were the grounds for impeachment. And that’s up to a new Congress to come to that decision. But the fact is that, people want to know what we’re doing for them,” Pelosi responded.

    Pelosi repeatedly emphasized that impeachment is not a political starting point but a process that requires evidence and deliberation.

    “You’re asking about what comes next. That’s up to the new Congress. And that’s up to them to decide where we go of reviewing what he’s done. And that requires power, all the kinds of things that build a case. It’s not just about, ‘I feel like doing this,'” she added.

    Trump, for his part, has already predicted that Democrats would pursue impeachment if they regain control, framing it as a likely political outcome of a Democratic victory in November. His allies have echoed that warning, arguing that impeachment would be a central focus of a Democratic-led House.

    Pelosi, however, sought to contrast that narrative by stressing economic and policy concerns as the party’s primary message heading into the midterms. She pointed to lowering costs, restoring healthcare funding, and addressing nutrition programs as top priorities.

    The former speaker also reiterated that she has no regrets about leading the House in impeaching Trump twice during his first term, decisions she has long defended as necessary and grounded in evidence.

    Her comments mark a notable shift from late 2025, when she told USA Today’s Susan Page that there was not sufficient cause at that time to pursue impeachment again.

    “If he crosses the border again,” Pelosi said in that earlier interview. “But that’s not an incidental thing. You say, ‘We’re going to do that.’ No, there has to be cause. There has to be reason. We had review. This was a very serious, historic thing.”

    Pelosi, who announced she will not seek re-election when her term ends in January 2027, appears to be leaving the question of impeachment deliberately open-ended—framing it as a decision for future lawmakers rather than a defined campaign promise, even as political pressure builds on both sides ahead of a potentially pivotal midterm election.
