0:48Scaramucci predicts Trump will get "trounced" in the midterms.
2:47He argues Democrats lack the national unity that helps Republicans organise around their party.
5:07The panel examines economic polling, inflation and presidential approval ahead of the vote.
6:15Discussion turns to Iran tensions and the implications for regional stability, markets and trade.
8:18Scaramucci predicts significant investigations if Democrats gain control of the House and Senate.
10:31Comparing Newsom and Ossoff as presidential prospects, Scaramucci puts name recognition first.

Anthony Scaramucci has a confident prediction about Donald Trump, but a less comfortable message for Democrats: opposition to the president is not enough to build a unified national party.

In CNBC International Live's election-day interview, the SkyBridge Capital managing partner and co-host of The Rest Is Politics: US assesses Chuck Schumer's approach of backing moderate candidates in tight Senate contests. The anchors press him on what figures such as James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed suggest about the party's direction.

His headline forecast arrives early: "I think the president's going to get trounced by the way, and I think he knows he's going to get trounced." That is Scaramucci's prediction ahead of the results, not an election outcome.

The segment drew about 110,000 views in its first 19 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for a regular video. It is a political interview with a business-news thread running through it: the panel moves from cultural divisions and economic polling to Iran tensions, energy prices and trade.

Scaramucci also predicts that Democratic control of Congress would bring significant investigations into the administration. Later, the discussion turns to future presidential contenders Gavin Newsom and Jon Ossoff. His first test for a candidate is not a policy position but familiarity: "Number one, you need name recognition. Number one, by far anything else."
