James Carville shocks Ari Melber with prediction for Trump-Biden debate

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville has raised doubts about former President Donald Trump’s commitment to participating in the first 2024 election debate against President Joe Biden. The debate is set to take place in Atlanta on June 27, and one of the rules stipulates that the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to speak.

During a discussion about the debate rules on MSNBC, Carville expressed his skepticism about Trump’s attendance. When asked by Ari Melber if he believed Trump would show up, Carville responded, “Well, if I was a gambler, and actually, I am a gambler, I’d take even money that Trump doesn’t show up.”

Melber chuckled at Carville’s prediction and asked for further explanation. Carville elaborated, “I mean, I don’t know, but I think he’s gonna wake up and decide. Just like he said he was gonna testify at his defense in his trial, he didn’t even put on a defense.”

Carville continued to emphasize his doubts about Trump’s participation, stating, “If you gave me even money, I’d say he’s a no-show. He’ll just get up in the morning and say, I’m just not going to do it.”

As the date of the debate approaches, speculation surrounding Trump’s attendance has been a topic of interest among political analysts and commentators. Carville’s insights add to the uncertainty surrounding the event and raise questions about Trump’s willingness to engage in a face-off with Biden.
