With Bannon’s release from prison, Trump campaign regains key voice on election eve

With the presidential election fast approaching, one of Donald Trump’s most supportive media personalities, Steve Bannon, is set to return to the fold as a wildcard in the final week of voting. 

After being sentenced to 120 days in prison after being convicted of contempt of Congress, popular right-wing podcast host and former Trump advisor Bannon is set to be released from a federal prison in Connecticut on Tuesday, where he was incarcerated after failing to respond to two subpoenas during the House’s January 6 investigation.

Bannon, who went from a key architect of the Make America Great Again movement to an official campaign advisor to a popular podcast host, has been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump but also a divisive and controversial figure. Recently, Trump has also made Bannon a symbol for his claims that Democrats are weaponizing the federal government against conservatives.
