The Spin
Bannon's return is a game-changer for the MAGA movement. His "War Room" podcast will energize the base and get people to the polls. The great MAGA reset begins now, and Bannon's righteous indignation will fuel a surge in support for Trump in the final week before the election.
Bannon's release won't significantly impact the election outcome. His podcast has lost momentum during his absence, falling out of the top charts. With only a week left, there's not enough time to mobilize his audience and create the widely anticipated post-election chaos.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 50% chance that the Republican Party nominee will win at least 267 Electoral College votes in the 2024 presidential election, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
