'Some in This Room Are Going to Prison - Myself Included': Bannon Predicts Grim Fate for Himself If Democrats Win

Upcoming Elections

Steve Bannon told a hall full of conservatives that if Democrats win the 2026 midterm elections and the presidency in 2028, some of them will go to prison, including him.

The former adviser to President Donald Trump spoke at an event put on by the Conservative Partnership Institute on Wednesday. His remarks came a day after Democrats racked up electoral wins in several key races, including gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia, and a referendum in California that could secure five additional Democratic congressional seats. Democrats are hoping he results are a harbinger of next year’s races.

“And I will tell you right now, as God is my witness,” Bannon told the crowd. “If we lose the midterms, if we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison – myself included. They’re not gonna stop. They are getting more and more and more radical. And we have to counter that. And what do we have to counter it with? We have to count it with more action, more intense action, more urgency. We’re burning daylight.”

Bannon went on to suggest Senate Republicans heed Trump’s demands by eliminating the chamber’s 60-vote cloture threshold, which is currently at the center of the ongoing government shutdown that began on Oct. 1. Republicans need seven Democratic votes to advance their funding bill, but so far Democrats are witholding them in exchange for the extension of Obamacare healthcare premium subsidies, which are set to expire on Dec. 31. However, Republicans have not budged.
