CNN’s Kristen Holmes revealed damning information from White House sources.
President Donald Trump’s secret prediction of doom ahead of tomorrow’s midterm elections has been leaked.
A desperate Trump, 80, ended his tour of America to win back alienated MAGA supporters with an appearance at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday. He bizarrely spoke about his landscaping work on this botched project, just hours before the crucial elections.
The senior president visited 20 states in 32 days, even as polls predict Republicans are struggling in key states, which could impact the future of the Senate for the remainder of Trump’s presidency.
President Donald Trump is talking about tips just hours before the midterms.
The latest round of polls from the New York Times and the University of Siena found that only 38% of likely voters surveyed in seven key Senate-bound states approved of Trump’s performance as president.

“He saw the polling, which obviously doesn’t look good for the Republicans,” Holmes told Burnett. “He saw the field of candidates. He saw the landscape.”
Erin Burnett speaks to Kristen Holmes on CNN’s OutFront.
She added: “Privately, to some allies and advisors, he predicted the worst-case scenario, which was that Democrats won both houses of Congress, and as part of that, he talked about what exactly that would look like in terms of government, investigations, or possible impeachment hearings.” »
Holmes claimed that in his speech at the Reflecting Pool, “you almost heard Trump admit it.”
During his speech on Monday, Trump said: “For whatever reason, the sitting president doesn’t win the midterm elections. But we gave it a very strong blow.”
Holmes noted that Trump’s comment “almost feels like a concession before we actually see the results.”
She added that although Trump “privately predicted” a potential loss, White House sources told the reporter that how the high-ranking president would react to Democrats winning both houses of Congress was “anyone’s guess.”
“That will be how Donald Trump feels in that moment, even though he was prepared, even though he predicted this,” Holmes said.
Holmes also revealed that the White House added a viewing party at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the East Room of the White House, which is currently closed to the press, according to the White House press schedule.
“We’ll see if they end up opening up to the press, I think a lot of it will depend on how the Republicans actually behave.”
The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.
Holmes’ inside report from the White House followed MS NOW reporter and former CNN star Paula Reid, who shared what she was told by sources within the Trump administration.
“Overall, there’s a sense that we’re absolutely going to take losses,” Reid said, saying some advisers have told him, “Maybe we deserve this based on the policies that we have that we haven’t put forward.”
Reid added that the people she spoke with “are focused on themselves and their next moves” ahead of the election outcome, and said she expected “high-profile departures” from the administration.
“What I’m being told to look for over the next few days is people who really want to show, not only to the president, but also to Stephen Miller, that they are loyal, not only to this administration, but to its priorities,” Reid said.
She added that sources told her that Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy, “will have a significant role in determining how the next two years go, and in particular who gets these promotions.”
