Former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon made some bold predictions about the coming elections during an interview with Sky News this week.
When he was asked if Trump would be running for president in 2024, Bannon replied “Oh, it’s not even a question. He’s going to run.”
Perhaps his even bolder prediction was regarding the 2022 midterm elections, where he said Republicans could pick up over 100 seats in the House of Representatives.
“2022 is how we are going to stop this,” he said, referring to the national mess caused by the Biden administration. “We are going to have a sweeping… I think we can have a 100 seat pickup in the House of Representatives. I think we can flip the Senate. We intent to destroy the Democrat party as a national institution, from school boards all the way up to state legislatures, attorney generals, secretaries of state, to the House and the Senate. Trump is definitely running in 2024.”
When the host asked Bannon if Trump had explicitly told him that he was running for president, the conservative powerhouse deflected answering directly, rather replaying, “I think you can see from his speeches at his rallies, he’s definitely running. There’s no doubt.”
The host stated that “It’s clear that Biden isn’t going to run for reelection,” and asked Bannon if he had any predictions about who might head the Democrat ticket in 2024.
Bannon’s prediction is that California Governor Gavin Newsom will be the nominee.
“We didn’t take him (Newsom) out on the recall. We should have. I told people if we don’t take this guy out, he’s going to be dangerous… He’s also going to have a $200 million dollar war chest. He’s got Silicon Valley, he’s got Hollywood, California is the seventh largest economy in the world.”
“Biden and Kamala Harris are going to be so crushed this November, the Democrats are going to be throwing a lot of people overboard.”
