James Carville Reveals Who Heโs Betting โA Lot Of Moneyโ On In 2028
Democrat strategist James Carvilleโknown as much for his fiery rhetoric as his mixed record of election predictionsโsays heโs ready to โbet a lot of moneyโ that Democrats will take the White House in 2028 and then move to pack the Supreme Court.
Speaking on his Politics War Room podcast Thursday with co-host Al Hunt, Carville responded to a listener question about what Democrats could have done differently to prepare for President Donald Trumpโs second term. Instead of looking back, he offered a bold forecast for the next presidential cycle.
Carville eventually dropped a whopper of a prediction that he insisted he has plenty of confidence in.
โIโm going to tell you whatโs going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that. The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court,โ the longtime Democratic strategist declared.
Carvilleโonce a top adviser to Bill Clintonโhas not always had a stellar record when it comes to predictions. Before the 2024 election, he confidently declared that Kamala Harris would โsail her way to victory,โ repeating that claim several times, including in an op-ed for The New York Times.
In January, Carville admitted he had gotten it โall wrong.โ Heโs since been openly critical of Harrisโs failed campaign, recently warning her allies to โpipe downโ because โno Democrat wants to hearโ from them.
On his 2028 prediction, Carville laid out how he believes a Democrat will expand the Supreme Court from nine seats to 13.
He argued:
โTheyโre going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. Thatโs going to happen, people,โ Carville said. โTheyโre going to win. Theyโre going to do some blue ribbon panel of distinguished jurists, and they are going to recommend 13, and a Democratic Senate and House is going to pass it, and the Democratic president is going to sign it, because they have to do an intervention so we can have a Supreme Court that the American people trust again.โ
Carville wrapped up his remarks by doubling down on his bet.
โJust keep that in the back of your mind,โ he said. โAnd I would bet a lot of money that thatโs whatโs going to happen. A lot.โ
If Carville is right this time, Democrats are preparing to reshape the nationโs highest courtโand, with it, the balance of power in Washingtonโfor generations to come.
