Steve Bannon, host of WarRoom, has long championed the cause of empowering the minority working class within the Republican Party. This vision is gaining significant momentum as we approach November’s election, with polls indicating growing minority support for Trump. The recent news of a massive caravan heading toward El Paso provides an interesting context for revisiting Bannon’s commentary. It suggests that rising frustrations within minority communities could drive even more support toward Trump’s America First agenda as they seek justice, control, and relief from mounting social and economic pressures.
Even CNN had to admit the Republicans are seeing a massive loss in the Democrat’s traditional base:

Trump’s Growing Minority Support Echoes Bannon’s Vision
Steve Bannon has been a relentless champion for the working class, particularly minority communities, which he sees as key players in reshaping America’s political landscape. His vision is materializing as polling, even from left-leaning sources like CNN, shows growing support for Donald Trump among minorities. In fact, as of early 2016, when Bannon was a key strategist for the campaign, Trump was making inroads with Black and Hispanic voters. This critical demographic shift reflects frustration with the Democratic Party’s policies. Bannon has long argued that these communities, particularly those affected by economic instability aided by the open borders, are aligning with Trump’s populist platform, which centers on sovereignty, economic nationalism, and law enforcement.
The Migrant Crisis Straining Minority Communities
The recent news of a massive caravan headed toward El Paso highlights one of the key issues driving minority voters toward Trump’s camp. As thousands of migrants approach the U.S. southern border, the already strained resources in minority communities, many of whom are grappling with affordable housing and job access, are likely to face further pressure. According to Bannon, this situation exacerbates feelings of displacement, particularly among Black and Hispanic Americans, who feel abandoned by the Democratic establishment.
In Bannon’s words: “The Black community in areas like Roxbury, Harlem, and others have been pushed out of their neighborhoods as illegal aliens move in. They’re being told to leave the urban areas they’ve lived in for years and relocate to the suburbs.” This perceived "replacement” of longstanding residents with newly arrived migrants resonates with many minorities who feel their concerns are being ignored in favor of accommodating newcomers.

Media’s Failure to Address Minority Discontent
Bannon claims, captured below from a March 2024 WarRoom segment that the mainstream media continues to deceive minority communities about the impacts of mass immigration and the policies championed by progressive elites. “They’ve been lied to by the mainstream media,” he says, “and they’re waking up.” This growing awareness and economic pressures are why minority voters gravitate toward Trump’s America First message. Trump’s vision, as Bannon notes, is about restoring jobs, enforcing immigration laws, and giving the minority working class a direct voice in shaping policy—something that many believe has been sidelined for too long.
A Broadening Tent Under the America First Agenda
Despite accusations of racism and xenophobia, Bannon points out that Trump’s popularity among minority communities is on the rise. “They hate Trump because he’s bringing the working class, particularly the minority working class, back into the conversation.” This reality, Bannon argues, is what the Democratic Party fears most. The growing embrace of Trump’s platform by Black and Hispanic voters poses a direct challenge to the traditional Democratic voter base, and Bannon sees this as a critical turning point.
As the migrant crisis intensifies and discontent within minority communities grows, Bannon’s prediction may hold true: "They didn’t want the working class back into the conversation. They especially don’t want the minority working class back in.” The shifting political tide, driven by frustrations over immigration and economic policies, suggests that Bannon’s vision for minority empowerment within the GOP is far from over—it’s just getting started.
