Friday night on WarRoom Battleground, Steve Bannon reflected on the turbulent political landscape of 2021, particularly the challenges facing President Trump and the MAGA movement during a time of diminished public support and unprecedented legal battles. As Bannon emphasized in his commentary, the WarRoom remained committed to engaging with Trump and rallying his base, even when the situation seemed dire. He recalled the period when Trump faced low approval ratings and criticism from within the establishment, stating, "We laid out the game plan. This is the fight we wanted.” Bannon’s resolve during those challenging times was not just about survival; it was about strategic positioning for a comeback.

Bannon noted that while the Democrats had focused on constructing a “Blue Wall” to secure their electoral dominance, they failed to effectively build that wall in the face of MAGA’s resurgence. "If you told me back then that they would have failed to build a firewall with mail-in ballots… they know they need a five or six hundred thousand at the most,” Bannon remarked, reflecting on the Democrats’ miscalculations. This failure, he argued, highlighted the vulnerabilities in their electoral strategy, particularly in battleground states where Trump had previously garnered significant support.
The discussion turned to the legal and political warfare that Bannon and Trump have faced, describing the tactics used against them as “lawfare.” Bannon, himself a political prisoner, saw the onslaught of legal challenges to stop MAGA political ambitions and scare them from participating in future elections.
"They’ve weaponized the legal system against us,” he declared, underscoring the systemic efforts to undermine MAGA leadership. However, Bannon remains undeterred, viewing these challenges as part of a larger battle for the soul of the nation.
As he assesses the current landscape, Bannon sees an opportunity for MAGA to capitalize on the Democrats’ failures. The shifting dynamics, particularly the lack of a solid Blue Wall, create a path for mobilization that could significantly impact upcoming elections. "We need two and a half to three million votes on Tuesday. Just folks showing up,” he emphasized, reiterating the need for grassroots engagement. He urged supporters to remain vigilant and proactive, stating that voter turnout is still crucial to reclaiming political power.
Bannon’s reflection is not merely a nostalgic look back at past struggles; it’s a call to action for the present. With the 2024 elections approaching, he recognizes that the energy and commitment of MAGA supporters are essential for overcoming the obstacles they face.
"No days off. We gotta close the deal,” Grace Chong told Bannon, highlighting the need for continued activism and voter engagement.
Bannon’s reflections on the past and the present emphasize the importance of staying engaged, mobilizing voters, and recognizing the shifting political tides. The absence of a robust Blue Wall provides a unique opportunity for MAGA supporters to make their voices heard in the upcoming elections, ensuring that they are not just reactive but proactive in their fight for representation.
The question is— but will the voters show up?
