Steve Bannon Predicts Trump Will Achieve a 'Landslide' Victory

In a recent interview, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon expressed strong confidence that former President Donald Trump will secure a "landslide" victory in the upcoming November election against President Joe Biden. Bannon claimed there is "100% certainty" that Trump could not only defeat Biden but also gain control of the Senate and increase Republican representation in the House. This assertion comes as Trump has made statements indicating a desire for retribution against his political adversaries. Bannon's comments raise concerns among some former Trump officials, including ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who suggested that individuals in the intelligence and law enforcement sectors are contemplating leaving the country if Trump is re-elected. When pressed by ABC's Jonathan Karl about the potential for retribution in a second Trump administration, Bannon dismissed the notion, yet he refrained from urging Trump supporters to accept the election results, regardless of the outcome. As the Republican National Convention approaches, where Trump is expected to officially accept the party's nomination, Bannon outlined his vision for Trump's second term, which he described as focusing on three key areas. He acknowledged past miscalculations in election predictions but defended his overall strategy, emphasizing that electoral outcomes are part of a broader process. Bannon also commented on Trump's performance in the first presidential debate, suggesting that it was a strategic misstep to participate at that time, as it provided an opportunity for Democrats to capitalize on any weaknesses.
