His prediction is bold.
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore believes former President Donald Trump is unlikely to make a successful political comeback, expressing confidence that Trump is “toast.” Moore pointed to the prevailing public mood, suggesting that many Americans are weary of political divisiveness and crave a return to more civil discourse. Despite polls showing a tight race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in key states, Moore remains hopeful about Harris’s chances, noting that most Americans don’t support the aggression and division often associated with Trump’s campaign.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Moore highlighted his view that the Trump campaign is out of sync with the average American. “They’re missing the fact that the majority of Americans don’t want this divisiveness or a looming threat of violence,” Moore stated. He suggested that while disagreement is natural, it shouldn’t spiral into hostility. Americans, he said, simply want to vote and accept the outcome, whatever it may be. Moore predicts the result will surprise Trump supporters, affirming his “deep faith” in American voters.
Looking ahead to Election Day, Moore doubled down on his view that Trump’s prospects are dim, saying, “I truly feel Trump is toast. I’m even more certain now, though I know the work isn’t done yet.” Earlier, he urged Democrats to remain confident, dismissing their election jitters as unfounded. Moore highlighted the potential surge of female voters, particularly motivated by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, as a likely boost for Harris.
Echoing Moore’s optimism, Democratic strategist James Carville also voiced certainty about Harris’s victory, chiding Democrats for their anxiety. In a New York Times column, Carville reassured readers, stating, “Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States. I am certain of it.” He observed that many Democrats seem overly nervous, frequently airing their concerns to the press. According to Carville, Trump’s association with the Republican Party’s recent struggles only diminishes his chances further, suggesting that the GOP’s fortunes have declined since Trump’s rise to prominence.
With Election Day drawing near, Moore and Carville’s comments underscore a shared confidence among some liberal voices that Harris is on a strong path to victory, despite a polarized and high-stakes race.
