Didn’t Halperin make a similar sort of prediction right before the election?
I thought so:

Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin, who was among the first to report that President Biden would withdraw from the race in July, revealed on Tuesday that there is a “certain story” that has been pitched to major news outlets that — if true — could derail Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign in its final days.
Speaking on his “Morning Meeting” show on YouTube, Halperin shared that although he does not believe the story is accurate, its impact—if it were—would be the October Surprise the political media has been waiting for.
“I know of one story... I don’t believe it is true. But if it’s true, it would end Donald Trump’s campaign,” Halperin said, adding that he’s aware of various efforts to influence the race’s outcome with less than two weeks until Election Day.
