Carville Sees Trump Dropping Out

July 2, 2020 at 2:23 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

James Carville told MSNBC that he believes there’s a “significant chance” that President Trump will drop out of the presidential race.

Said Carville: “I think there is a significant chance he doesn’t run. This thing is going so poorly. He’s so far back. It doesn’t make much sense for him to run.”
