Republicans contemplate a White House without Steve Bannon

Congressional Republicans reacted with mixed emotions on Friday after learning that White House chief strategist Steve Bannon had left the West Wing to return to the helm of Breitbart News, the hard-right website that has built its reputation on tormenting the GOP establishment.

“The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over,” Bannon declared in an interview with The Weekly Standard hours after the White House announced his departure. “We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over.”
