Former White House chief strategist and longtime MAGA loyalist Steve Bannon issued a warning to Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm election over the controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Bannon said Friday on Real America’s Voice, in part, “For this to go away, you’re going to lose 10 percent of the MAGA movement. If we lose 10 percent of the MAGA movement, we’re going to lose 40 seats in ’26. We’re going to lose the presidency (in 2028), they’re not even gonna have to steal it.”
BANNON: The Epstein list is just the tip of the iceberg here; the real question is about who really governs us.
If this cover-up continues, 10% of the MAGA base will walk away.
