Piers Morgan Predicts Trump Will Become A ‘Lame Duck’ After 2026 Midterms

Piers Morgan has forecasted that President Donald Trump will become “a lame duck president” if the GOP loses the House in the 2026 midterms.

On Monday’s episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the British broadcaster praised Trump for initiating a major shutdown of the U.S.-Mexico border, then said that he was “going way too far” with the nationwide expansion of ICE raids.

“Whilst [Trump] did brilliantly in shutting down the southern border after the ridiculous hemorrhaging, sort of open border under [former President Joe] Biden, and whilst he was quite right in assessing that Americans, broadly speaking from all the polls, are happy for people who are in the country illegally, who then commit crimes unconnected to their status, to be deported, it’s the behavior of ICE on the streets of American cities and towns in going way too far with people who may have been in the country for 10 years, raised kids, got jobs, paid taxes, and so on, that is not supported by the American people,” Morgan said.

Morgan also predicted that Trump was “going to get the whiplash back from” the deadly ICE raids during the 2026 midterms.

“[The Republicans are] gonna lose the House, and then he’ll become effectively, as everyone does in that scenario, a bit of a lame duck president,” Morgan said. “And if that happens, he’ll only have himself to blame for going too far with the way that ICE has been on the streets.”

This is not the first time Morgan has disagreed with the president. He also defended Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance against criticism from Trump and his MAGA supporters. When Trump condemned the Grammy winner, an outspoken critic of the administration’s immigration crackdown, Morgan showed support for the musician in a Feb. 9 X post.

“Couldn’t disagree more, Mr President. I absolutely loved Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Amazing (best in Super Bowl history?) theatre/choreography, great energy, superbly confident performance, and a very welcome unifying message,” he wrote alongside a screenshot of Trump’s post.

Morgan then took another swipe at Trump, who complained about Bad Bunny predominantly performing in Spanish, adding, “Oh, and Spanish is 1st language for 50m+ Americans!”

In a separate X post, Morgan clarified that he was still “friends” with Trump, adding, “I just disagree with him about a lot of things (and agree about others).”
