Biden bowing out of race could hurt Trump, Steve Bannon warns: 'Best guy we're ever going to get'

Steve Bannon – the on-again, off-again adviser to former President Trump – argued that President Biden’s poor performance in last week’s debate could actually be bad news for Trump.

"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," Bannon said in an interview with the Washington Post Sunday.

Bannon, who is set to report to prison Monday and serve a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress, argued that the performance by Biden in last week’s debate would tank the president’s poll numbers and force him to exit the race. However, such a development would be bad news for Trump and the Republican Party.
