Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci predicted on CNBC’s Squawk Box Europe that Trump and his Republicans will be “trounced” in Tuesday’s midterm elections, and said Trump knows it. Scaramucci also said the Republican Party faces a “civil war” after the result. He said Trump broke promises on affordability, ending foreign wars and Epstein files transparency, and that voters are using the midterms to grade the president. Polling before Election Day suggested Democrats could win back the House and perhaps the Senate.
