About this listen
Barely a week goes by without Steve Bannon sparking headlines or feeding the rumor mill and these past few days have been no exception. On August 8, speculation reached new heights as the Daily Mail claimed Bannon was preparing a 2028 presidential run and gunning for a showdown with Vice President JD Vance. The story immediately ricocheted across U.S. and international media. Bannon, never a man of many words when a headline is brewing, fired back with a pointed two-word reply to Fox News and The National Pulse: Trump 2028. Not only did he deny the rumored run, but he also doubled down on his image as Trump’s most loyal foot soldier, echoing his March Politico comment that his sole agenda is to back Trump and the America First movement while calling any talk of his own presidential ambitions absurd.
Despite his public denials, inner-circle sources quoted by outlets like the Hindustan Times and the Daily Mail insist Bannon has dismissed Vance as, in Bannon’s words, not tough enough for 2028. These reports, while widely circulated, remain based on unnamed insiders and have been criticized by The National Pulse as thinly sourced and perhaps even aimed at stirring up division within the MAGA ranks. Meanwhile, both Trump and Marco Rubio have publicly floated the possibility of a Vance-Rubio ticket for 2028, with Rubio praising Vance's qualifications to Lara Trump.
Bannon has made waves on his own War Room podcast in recent days, reigniting immigration debates by demanding a total halt to the H-1B visa program and insisting all foreign graduates be forced to leave the U.S. within 30 days. He argued, as reported by the Economic Times and American Bazaar Online, that allowing foreign students to remain is tantamount to running an empire and deprives their home countries of talent. His maximalist anti-immigration rhetoric has once again put him at the center of a hot-button national issue, winning applause from Vice President Vance, who recently accused Big Tech of hypocrisy for laying off American workers while applying for overseas foreign visas.
Adding further intrigue, the Hindustan Times reports that Bannon allegedly possesses 15 hours of unreleased videotapes with Jeffrey Epstein, filmed shortly before Epstein’s death in 2019. Some Republican operatives speculate—without confirmation—that Bannon could attempt to leverage these tapes as political currency in 2028, though to date none have surfaced and this remains pure speculation.
Social media remains alight with clips and debate but no major public appearances have been noted this week, apart from his continued presence online and in conservative media. In short, Bannon is once again at the heart of swirling rumors, MAGA succession politics, and headline-grabbing policy proposals—but as for a 2028 run, his answer to date is as brief as it is unmistakable: Trump 2028.
