Steve Bannon believed Joe Biden was set for an overwhelming victory in the upcoming election as recently as late July, according to private communications obtained by the Washington Examiner.

For over a year, before his arrest Thursday on federal fraud charges, Bannon regularly expressed concerns over demographic and economic conditions facing President Trump this November. For his old boss, that included the lack of stickiness from voters who supported Trump in 2016 in swing states, as well as the president’s relatively low approval rating.
