Foreign policy analyst David Rothkopf delivered a dire forecast for Donald Trump’s political future, warning on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president’s next year will be “hell” if Republicans lose either chamber in the 2026 midterms.

He said Democrats are poised for major gains, and if they take the House or Senate, Trump won’t be able to talk his way out of accountability: impeachment proceedings could begin, cabinet officials could be targeted, his agenda would collapse, and at 80 years old, Trump’s political era could effectively end.
