James Carville wrote in The New York Times that he was "certain" Kamala Harris would win the 2024 election.
She lost every single battleground state.
Now Carville is back with fresh threats – and this time he has Trump's family in his crosshairs.
Carville Predicted Trump Would Collapse in 30 Days and Was Wrong Then Too
In a video posted Tuesday, the 81-year-old Democratic strategist told President Trump exactly what's coming after November's midterms.
"The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end," Carville warned.
Then he went further.
"They're going to start going after you," he said. "Then they're going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is. Then they're going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses."
He capped it off with a Mike Tyson analogy – promising Trump a political punch in the mouth – and closed with this: "I got news for you, dude. You're done."

This is the same man who predicted Trump's White House would collapse within 30 days of taking office.
It didn't collapse.
He also predicted Trump would voluntarily resign once Democrats controlled Congress.
He's still president.
Democrats Have Been Threatening to Investigate Trump Family for Years
In October 2024, Carville published an op-ed in The New York Times titled "Three Reasons I'm Certain Kamala Harris Will Win."
His three reasons: Trump had lost before, Harris had more money, and – in his own words – "it's just a feeling."
Trump swept all seven battleground states and flipped the Senate.
Carville later admitted to Fox News Digital the prediction was a mistake, telling ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, "The truth of the matter is, I'm not a very good predictor of elections."
That's the most honest thing James Carville has said in years.
Yet here he is – threatening Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric on behalf of a party that hasn't won a significant national election in four years.
Chuck Schumer has been promising retribution investigations since Trump's first term.
Nancy Pelosi spent four years weaponizing committee subpoenas.
AOC and Ilhan Omar have been demanding Trump family prosecutions since before the 2024 election even happened.
Carville is just the one dumb enough to say it on camera.
"Going after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses" isn't a legal strategy.
It's a confession that the left has abandoned any pretense of governing and gone straight to hunting the president's family.

The White House wasn't subtle in its response: "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 Admits He Has Trump Derangement Syndrome and Wants It to Get Worse
Carville coined "It's the economy, stupid" in 1992 and won Bill Clinton the presidency.
Then he forgot his own lesson, predicted a Harris landslide on vibes, watched Trump win by the widest Republican margin since 1988, and publicly told Stephen A. Smith he was "not a very good predictor."
He also told interviewers he doesn't want to recover from his Trump hatred.
"I don't want to get better, I want to get worse," he said. "I pray to God in heaven."
That's not opposition. That's a man drowning in rage, threatening whoever is nearby.
The investigations won't materialize.
The resignation won't happen.
Ivanka and Don Jr. aren't going to prison.
What will happen is November – and James Carville will be wrong again.
