Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon says the 'Maga army' is revved up and ready to secure a second term
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon
…a busy man, he started out in the US Navy, made his nut in investment banking, then while executive producing films for Hollywood he cofounded Breitbart, which he stepped away from to manage Donald Trump’s2016 presidential campaign. He did other things in between, but those are the highlights…
says the 'MAGA army' is working to secure the ex-President's victory over Joe Biden and his return to the White House.

Bannon is scheduled to report to a federal prison in Connecticut today to serve a four-month sentence
just until the election is over
on contempt charges for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

The former White House chief strategist says he is not concerned about serving time during the crucial stages of Donald Trump's campaign, telling the BBC that the Republican's supporter's 'can't and won't stop until final victory'.

He also implied that he will continue to help Trump's campaign while he serves his sentence, though it is not clear how he plans to do so behind bars.

'I've served my country now for the last 10 or so years focusing on this,' Bannon told the broadcaster of the MAGA movement. 'If I have to do it in a prison, I do it in a prison - it makes no difference at all.'

Bannon, in an interview with the BBC, said 'I'm ready to go' and 'I'm all set up' as he prepares to serve his prison sentence.

He intends to broadcast a final episode of his War Room TV show and podcast - which he describes as a 'military command centre for MAGA' - from outside the prison gates today before turning himself into authorities.

Bannon reiterated that his show will remain on the air while he serves his sentence, alleging he has arranged for other hosts to present the program alongside his regular contributors.

He remains confident that Trump will be re-elected in November and said he is sure the GOP candidate from 'day one' will work to 'stop the invasion' of the US border and start the 'mass deportation of 10 to 15 million illegal alien invaders'.

He claims the former President will then focus on the economy, retaining the tax cuts from his first term which largely benefited corporations and wealthy individuals.

Bannon claimed Trump would then end the 'forever wars' in Ukraine and Gaza, but did not explain how he would do so.

He also shared that a second Trump administration would target the former President's political enemies, especially those who were involved in the criminal proceedings against Trump.

Additionally, Bannon argued that it is 'impossible' for Biden to win re-election in November and warned that neither he nor the 'MAGA army' would accept the results if he did.

The remark comes after he recently told a revved-up crowd of Trump supporters the the upcoming election will result in 'victory or death'
