Bannon Denies 2028 Presidential Bid Rumors

Reports from the Daily Mail suggest Steve Bannon is considering a 2028 presidential run, possibly setting up a primary contest against Vice President JD Vance, whom Bannon allegedly doubts is 'tough enough.' Bannon and his associates have strongly denied these rumors, calling them 'absurd' and emphasizing his support for Trump's America First agenda rather than any personal campaign ambitions. Trump has recently identified JD Vance as the likely frontrunner to succeed him, with Marco Rubio and other GOP figures also mentioned as potential candidates. Conservative media and Bannon's associates have criticized the speculation as thinly sourced and divisive. The rumors have nonetheless highlighted ongoing internal tensions within the MAGA movement. At present, there is no confirmation of any active Bannon campaign, and he continues to support Trump's political movement.
