Washington Examiner: “Steve Bannon believed Joe Biden was set for an overwhelming victory in the upcoming election as recently as late July, according to private communications obtained by the Washington Examiner. For over a year, before his arrest Thursday on federal fraud charges, Bannon regularly expressed concerns over demographic and economic conditions facing President Trump this November. For his old boss, that included the lack of stickiness from voters who supported Trump in 2016 in swing states, as well as the president’s relatively low approval rating.”
“That led Bannon, former chief political strategist in Trump’s 2016 campaign and a senior adviser for the first seven months of the administration, to be “convinced” Trump was destined to lose, according to an individual in communication with him. In one text exchange this summer, Bannon said the race looked like a “blow out” for Biden, President Barack Obama’s two-term vice president and previously a 36-year Delaware senator. Bannon told associates they should begin planning sooner rather than later for a post-Trump GOP.”
