America First Movement Forces a Reckoning
As election season heats up, Steve Bannon, the host of the WarRoom program and a leading voice in the MAGA movement, has put pressure on the Biden-Harris administration. His frequent question during the Mobilization Weekend Special broadcasts that is ringing loudest is simple: Where are Joe Biden’s 81 million voters?
Populists within the America First movement argue that the enthusiasm supposedly backing the current administration seems conspicuously absent, particularly as Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris faces growing questions about Biden’s support base.
According to Steve Bannon, former Trump strategist and key figure in the populist movement, the answer is clear: “Biden doesn’t have the consent of the governed.” The current administration, he suggests, has failed to inspire the mass support it claimed in 2020. Now, MAGA-aligned strategists are leveraging this sentiment to rally voters and scrutinize the validity of Democratic claims.
Bannon reminds voters to complete their ballots because there is an opportunity for a historic “Trifecta” with MAGA having all three branches of government- but only if people get out and vote stay in line, and report anything they see going wrong to election officials.
Questioning the Legitimacy of Biden’s Voter Base
Populists argue that a significant disconnect between the administration and the electorate has marked Biden’s presidency. For many, the 2020 election figures just don’t add up in light of the current political climate. The argument here isn’t just about polling numbers but visible support—or lack thereof. Bannon, among others, claims this is a weakness in the Democrats’ armor: “Biden’s administration lacks real consent from the people, and the 81 million votes have been conspicuously invisible ever since.”
The America First base asserts that it’s difficult to believe the historic vote total Biden achieved in 2020 when MAGA’s rallies and grassroots events are drawing the large, passionate crowds. Conversely, the Biden-Harris administration seems unable to generate similar energy, even in states that turned blue in 2020.
Populists’ Target: The 2024 Battlegrounds
The America First movement has ramped up efforts in key battleground states, aiming to "corner” Harris and the Democrats into defending their stronghold territories. Bannon pointed to states like Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, and Nevada, suggesting that a high MAGA turnout could "box in” the Democrats within the so-called blue wall. "If we turn out in these states, we’ll have them exactly where we want them,” he asserted.
Even more telling, Bannon stressed the growing grassroots energy on the Right, which he credits to a new conservative media ecosystem. This network, he argues, has empowered voters in ways legacy media could not. In Bannon’s words, "The ecosystem on the Right is very powerful…focused on getting out the vote in a way we’ve never seen before.” By contrast, Bannon suggested, Democrats have relied on traditional methods like mail-in voting and early voting but have failed to match the passion of America First supporters.
MAGA’s Push to Get Out the Vote
The America First base isn’t merely banking on rhetoric. They’re on the ground, aiming for a massive turnout to secure MAGA victories in crucial states. MAGA’s approach is direct: mobilize supporters through grassroots initiatives and get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts that capitalize on America First momentum. From election judges to volunteer precinct workers, Bannon claims the movement’s infrastructure is stronger than ever. “All your hard work and all your efforts to save your country is all there,” he says.
Meanwhile, MAGA advocates argue that Democrats are scrambling. Kamala Harris, caught in the pressure cooker of MAGA’s relentless questioning, is struggling to explain where Biden’s voter base has gone, hinting that the administration’s support was never as solid as claimed.
Why Biden’s "Invisible Voters” Matter in 2024
This question—where are Biden’s 81 million voters?—is more than rhetorical. It’s a challenge that speaks directly to the heart of America’s trust in its election process. MAGA figures claim that these "invisible voters” could be the Achilles’ heel of the Democrats, as MAGA drives its base to the polls. The objective is not just to win, but to reveal, as Bannon put it, “the reality of the Biden regime.”
Bannon and his allies believe that MAGA’s visibility and voter enthusiasm will expose a stark contrast to the Biden-Harris ticket. MAGA supporters are also counting on their grassroots energy to rally swing voters, especially in states where the blue wall isn’t as secure as it once was. "Let’s throw down in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan,” Bannon said, indicating that even a single state win could tilt the balance.
A New Chapter for America First
Bannon and the America First movement are clearly playing a long game. The battle plan, as Bannon sees it, isn’t just about securing 270 electoral votes but also about challenging the Biden administration’s narrative by exposing what they believe is an unsupported presidency. “You are living in historic times,” Bannon told his audience, stressing that MAGA’s impact on American politics is far from over.
In 2024, the MAGA base sees itself as standing at a pivotal moment—a chance to question and reshape the political landscape. Their message to Biden and Harris is clear: Show us the 81 million. For MAGA supporters, the energy and support they’re bringing to the polls will speak volumes about who has the real backing of the American people.
