Bannon’s Stark Prediction- ‘Harris Will Fail Because of This’
Grace Chong highlighted a statement from Steve Bannon, emphasizing his belief that Kamala Harris will face electoral consequences due to the failure to implement President Trump’s First Step Act fully. Bannon predicts that disillusionment among Black and Hispanic voters could make or break the 2024 election. The core message was that Harris’s neglect has harmed families, and this issue could cost her key states.
To clarify his position, according to Chong, Steve Bannon released the following full statement (which was made on Friday of last week and has been reported on numerous times):
“The ‘Queen of Mass Incarceration,’ Kamala Harris, will lose her bid for the presidency on 5 November because of Black and Hispanic men rejecting her candidacy and refusing to vote for her due to her failure to implement President Trump’s First Step Act. Tens of thousands of Black and Hispanic men should now be back with their families or on a detailed path of when they leave prison. Harris played politics with people’s lives, and now she will pay for her arrogance—Black and Hispanic men detest her and will never vote for her. It’s impossible for her to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Georgia without this critical vote. Harris’s BOP keeps me incarcerated 10 days longer than is legal because of the same failure to implement FSA.”
Bannon was scheduled to be released on Oct. 29, and with First Step Act rights that he is entitled to, he should have been released much earlier. Late last week, when Bannon had 10 days remaining in his sentence, he was officially denied his request for early release. Once released on Oct. 29, Bannon will have served his full 123 days for a misdemeanor without being allowed the criminal just reforms that President Trump signed in 2018.
Bannon predicts this type of lawfare against political opponents is something that will haunt Black and Hispanic communities and families.
Bannon’s Critique of Kamala Harris
Bannon’s statement was clear. Kamala Harris, as a central figure in the Biden administration, failed to uphold the promises of the First Step Act. This law, signed by President Trump, was designed to grant early release or reduced sentences to thousands of incarcerated individuals, especially Black and Hispanic men. According to Bannon, Harris’s neglect to implement this legislation has had dire consequences.
Incarceration Impact on Families
Tens of thousands of Black and Hispanic men remain behind bars longer than legally warranted. Bannon argues this has torn families apart and left communities devastated. He stresses that the failure to uphold the First Step Act is not just a political issue but a matter of broken families and disrupted lives. Grace Chong emphasized that the stakes go far beyond elections; this is about holding leaders accountable for broken promises.
Key States in Play
Bannon warned that Harris’s actions would cost her critical states in the upcoming election. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia are on the line. Black and Hispanic men, affected by the lack of action on the First Step Act, may choose to abstain or vote differently in 2024. This demographic shift could sway the election results dramatically.
War Room’s Resilience
Grace Chong also highlighted the resilience of Steve Bannon’s War Room team. Ghong says the War Room has grown stronger despite criticism and setbacks. They believe they have become a powerful voice for the disenfranchised. Chong urged supporters to mobilize, to vote down the ballot, and to bring the First Step Act back to the forefront of political discourse.
Voter Mobilization is Key
The conversation centered on the need for action. Chong called on the War Room’s audience to vote, to spread the message, and to hold the government accountable. She encouraged everyone to write postcards, make calls, and engage in grassroots efforts to ensure the First Step Act remains a central issue in the 2024 campaign.
Bannon’s Return to War Room
Bannon is expected to return to the War Room soon after his Oct. 29th release. Chong expressed excitement and pride in the team’s ability to carry on during his absence. The anticipation is that Bannon’s return will energize their movement, reigniting their focus on justice reform and accountability.
A Call for Justice and Accountability
Chong’s update was a rallying cry. She emphasized that the 2024 election is not just about choosing candidates; it’s about demanding justice and reform. With Bannon set to return after Oct. 29, the War Room’s call to action is clear: fight for families, hold leaders accountable, and make sure every voice is heard. The battle lines for 2024 are drawn, and the War Room aims to make justice a defining issue.
