Journalist Mark Halperin was in the news last week after he claimed that he had seen private (campaign) polling that showed Kamala Harris is in trouble in the swing states.
This week, Halperin sat for a long interview with Tucker Carlson, during which he said that if Trump wins the 2024 election, we will witness the “biggest mental health crisis in the history of America.”

TUCKER CARLSON: A lot of Democrats, maybe the majority, believe that Trump becoming president again is the worst thing that could ever happen. So how do they respond to that?MARK HALPERIN: I say this not flippantly, I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country. I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future, and the future for their children, could be like. I think it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals. I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace. I think there will be some degree of –TUCKER CARLSON: Are you being serious?MARK HALPERIN: 100% serious. I think there’ll be alcoholism, broken marriages… yeah. They think he’s the worst person possible to be president. Having won by the hand of Jim Comey and a fluke in 2016, and then performed in office for four years, and denied who won the election last time, and January 6th… the fact that under a fair election, America chose by the pre-agreed rules Donald Trump again — I think it will cause the biggest mental health crisis in the history of America.And I don’t think it will be a passing thing that, by the inauguration, we’ll be fine. I think it will be sustained, unprecedented, and hideous, and I don’t think the country’s ready for it…I think there’ll be workplace fights, fights at kids’ birthday parties, I think there will be protests that will turn violent. I hope they don’t, but I think there will be some.
