Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist turned MAGA power broker, is delivering a stark warning to Republican leadership.

"They campaign as anti-establishment," Bannon said. "Very smartly, if you look at their campaigning, they’re not really even campaigning on [President Donald] Trump. He gets a mention. But they’re very much like the Tea Party, like old Breitbart. They’re going against the Democratic establishment."

The president has warned against the "communist" threat posed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the candidates he's backed, but Bannon said that angle only works if it's properly framed and mainstreamed by the GOP.

"Right now, only the far right is doing the framing," he said. "It has to get into the bloodstream. The consultant class of the Republican Party is always asleep and caught off guard."
