Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Trump, recently shared his thoughts on the potential impact of President Biden dropping out of the race following his poor performance in the debate last week. Bannon believes that Trump’s victory over Biden would not be beneficial as Biden is the best candidate they could face.
Bannon argued that if Biden were to exit the race, it would create uncertainty and pose a challenge for the Republican Party. He expressed confidence that Trump would win decisively against Biden and that the GOP would gain significant seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Despite the concerns raised by Bannon, Democratic lawmakers and donors are still reeling from Biden’s debate performance. The president’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley, released a memo attributing any poll dips to negative media coverage of the debate. Biden himself has not indicated any intention to drop out of the race.
Bannon suggested that the Trump campaign should start preparing to face an alternative candidate and capitalize on the Democrats’ internal struggles. He emphasized the need to expose the Democratic Party’s self-serving motives and lack of concern for the nation’s well-being.
As Bannon prepares to report to prison for a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress, he remains determined to continue voicing his opinions through his podcast and other channels. He expressed confidence that his message will continue to reach his followers even from behind bars.
The Democratic Party may indeed face challenges if Biden were to drop out of the race, as Bannon suggested. The party would need to rally around a new candidate amidst internal divisions and potentially start at a disadvantage in the general election. However, it remains to be seen how events will unfold and whether Biden will indeed consider stepping down.
