James Carville Would ‘Bet Money’ Dems Win Presidency In 2028, Pack Supreme Court
Trending Politics ^ | 11/6/2025 | Cullen McCue

Emboldened by Tuesday’s encouraging election results, veteran political strategist James Carville said he would “bet money” that Democrats will not only win the presidency in 2028, but then proceed to pack the Supreme Court to ensure permanent one party rule.

While taking questions during Thursday’s installment of he and co-host Al Hunt’s “Politics War Room,” one listener asked how the Biden Administration could have prepared for “the possibility of Trump winning a second term.”

While Hunt argued in favor of new legislation and guardrails, Carville gleefully predicted that the next Democrat president will fundamentally redefine American government.

“I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that,” he said. “The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court.”

“They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people. That’s going to happen to you. They’re going to win. They’re 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.”

The ex-Clinton strategist went on to declare that he would “bet a-lot of money that’s what’s going to happen. A-lot.”

Carville previously conceded back in January that his predictions on the 2024 election were wrong after repeatedly predicting that former Vice President Kamala Harris would win in 2024.

“I thought Kamala Harris would win. I was wrong. While I’m sure we Democrats can argue that the loss wasn’t a landslide or take a little solace in our House performance, the most important thing for us now is to face that we were wrong and take action on the prevailing ‘why,’” Carville wrote.

I can’t imagine the level of hate and revenge Democrats would bring if they gained the Presidency in January 2029

The borders would be opened even wider. The DOJ would go full Gestapo
It would be full-on leftist revenge and massive social engineering.

If it wasn’t for Manchin saving the filibuster the SC would be gone. They already had the so called panel and had the hacks ready to go. The GOP would do well to remember that when they toy with killing the filibuster.

So the Democrats won local and state elections in their stronghold areas. And this is caused for their celebration?

With all of headwinds Dems face, it doesn’t seem likely, and yet somehow they may pull it off.

And forever

Periodically the reptilian slithers out of the bayou in his LSU costume and issues a nonsensical announcement, but in this case it is a WARNING for the GOP.

God help us if we get 4 more people like Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor on the court.

This cannot be taken lightly. There is an army of evil scheming to permanently destroy the USA. Don’t assume NY and California are outliers. Pray and prepare.

He has been mostly correct for 16 years so far. Look at where we are versus where we were. It doesn’t matter whether “R’s” control the White House or the legislature. The Democrat agenda advances no matter what.

a big issue here is Trump actually fighting back - i.e. pushing back on mail-in voting, shutting down corrupt NGO’s, cutting off federal money going to Dem scams (that recycle the money into electing Dems), pushing voter ID, reducing federal employees.
