Democratic strategist James Carville said Donald Trump's legal troubles would help boost Democrats to a midterm election win.
The twice-impeached one-term president is facing numerous lawsuits and criminal investigations, and the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed new evidence of wrongdoing in its investigation of his efforts to overturn his election loss, and Carville told MSNBC's "11th Hour" that things were looking good for Democrats.
"We are ready to have an explosive economic recovery here," Carville said. "The COVID numbers are starting to look pretty good. And if the Democrats -- and Trump's in legal trouble. Don't kid yourself, he is in profound legal trouble. If the Democrats show some motion and momentum here they're not doomed to have a bad 2022, but they got to get in with what could be a very positive turn here in the United States. Very possible, not saying it will happen, but none of these things are far-fetched at all."
