“Stephen Bannon — the sometime adviser to presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and influential podcast host who will report on Monday to serve a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress — predicted that President Biden’s debate performance will force him out of the race, denying Republicans their weakest opponent,” the Washington Post reports.
Said Bannon: “The campaign is starting to wake up after spiking the football, I think wrongly. Trump’s Thursday was a Pyrrhic victory. … You’re going to take out a guy you know you can beat and beat badly, and we’re going to have a wild card.”
Wall Street Journal: Steve Bannon is heading to prison. He’ll still have influence in Trump World.
