Former Democratic strategist James Carville has predicted a 'wipeout' for Republicans at the 2026 midterms. On Saturday, Carville forecast a startling loss for Republicans in the upcoming midterms, with Democrats managing to pick up a 'minimum' of 25 seats and likely regain control of the Senate. 'Frankly, it's going to be a wipeout,' Carville told Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America. 'Your viewers need to know that the Democrats are going to pick up at a minimum 25 seats, maybe as high as 45. In all likelihood, the Democrats will carry the Senate.'
