Bannon: GOP ‘going to lose the Senate’ in midterms

Bannon said weak GOP enthusiasm and record Texas primary spending will cost the party its Senate majority.

  • Former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon predicted on Thursday that the Republican Party will lose its Senate majority in the 2026 midterm elections.
  • During a Thursday episode of his War Room podcast, Bannon criticized the GOP for "burning" millions in the Texas primary race between Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton.
  • The GOP lacks grassroots enthusiasm, Bannon argued, claiming "the old way of putting a couple hundred million dollars in and buying TV ads on Fox and CNN doesn't work anymore."
  • Calling for a "showdown," Bannon asserted that Senate Republicans treat President Donald Trump "worse than a lame duck" while ignoring a "new day" in politics.
  • Bannon warned of potential losses in North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, and Michigan, suggesting that having "Democrats in power" is preferable to current GOP establishment strategies.
