Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former chief White House strategist, predicted Republicans will lose the Senate in the November midterms.
During an episode of his "War Room" podcast, Bannon criticized Republicans for abandoning working-class voters who feel "crushed," and said, "That's the backbone of the nation. When we lose sight of that, you lose it all."
He also criticized GOP donors, saying their campaign spending resembles burning money, citing wasted resources on Sen. John Cornyn's Texas race.
Bannon then noted, Republican candidates are falling behind in Maine, North Carolina, and Ohio — areas he characterized as "MAGA country." He attributed GOP failures to lack of grassroots engagement, arguing, "People are not going to go door to door and engage" without proper canvassing efforts.
Bannon emphasized, modern electoral success requires one-on-one voter engagement and volunteers genuinely committed to candidates' causes, which Trump-backed candidates currently lack.
