Steve Bannon warns MAGA supporters after Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general nomination

newsweek.com

Steve Bannon criticized the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz from the attorney general nomination, calling it a win for establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell. Bannon warned that moderate Republicans may now feel empowered to block Trump's agenda. Gaetz stepped down after realizing he lacked sufficient support from GOP senators for confirmation. His nomination faced scrutiny due to his limited legal experience and ongoing investigations into his conduct. Following Gaetz's exit, Trump nominated Pam Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, for the position. Bondi is seen as a more viable candidate for Senate confirmation due to her legal background and lack of controversy.
