With a few months left before the November midterms, a former Trump White House insider predicted Republicans will lose the Senate.
Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief White House strategist, in the latest episode of his podcast, "War Room," said, "You're going to lose the Senate in the fall anyway," speaking to Republicans.
Bannon blasted Republicans for losing sight of working-class voters, who are feeling "crushed," he said.
"That's the backbone of the nation," Bannon said. "When we lose sight of that, you lose it all."
He told big GOP donors, "You might as well take your money out in big barrels and take it in the front yard like leaves and just burn it," Bannon said. "Just like you did in Texas," referring to money wasted on campaigning for Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
"The Senate is lost," Bannon continued, saying GOP candidates are behind in the polls in Maine, North Carolina, and Ohio. "Last time I looked, I think they're kind of MAGA country. You're down there. Why? People are not going to go door to door and engage."
One-on-one canvassing and engagement is what wins modern voters, Bannon insisted, and the GOP, specifically Trump-backed candidates, lack "volunteers who believe in something."
