Former White House strategist Steve Bannon says Donald Trump will run for re-election in 2024 if he loses the presidential race to Joe Biden next month.
Even if he fails to win a second term in the White House, Bannon told The Australian: ‘You will not see the end of Donald Trump.’
Bannon, who was recently arrested for money laundering and federal fraud, added that he believes the Nov. 3 election was “closer than reported,” and said “Trump will win on Election Day.”
“ I will make this prediction right now: If for some reason the election is stolen or Joe Biden is somehow declared the winner, Trump will announce that he will run for re-election in 2024, ” he told the outlet.
Bannon also predicted that the election result will go to the Supreme Court and could even be conferred on the House of Representatives in January, saying the result will be controversial and “will not be resolved soon.”
Even if he fails to win a second term in the White House, Bannon told The Australian: ‘You will not see the end of Donald Trump.’
Bannon, who was recently arrested for money laundering and federal fraud, added that he believed the Nov.3 election was “closer than reported,” but “Trump will win on Election Day.”
Bannon’s latest comments cast a slightly more pessimistic tone to comments made a few days ago during a speech in front of the Federation of Young Republicans, in which he resolutely declared that not only will Trump win on November 3, but he will ensure victory. soon.
‘At 10 o’clock or 11 o’clock … on November 3, Donald J. Trump will walk into the Oval Office and he may tweet before going in there … and will sit there, having won Ohio, And being in Pennsylvania and Florida, and he’s going to say, “Hey, it’s game over,” Bannon, executive director of Trump’s 2016 campaign, told the crowd.
‘The elites are traumatized. They don’t want to queue and vote. That ladies and gentlemen is a game changer, ” Bannon continued. ‘That [the decisive factor] it is what the electorate presents to vote a vote that can be certified. That’s a vote that counts. And right now, what [Trump critics] I don’t want to talk, Donald J. Trump leads on the people who will actually come forward and vote on November 3, by 21 percent. ‘
Speaking to the Australian, Bannon also claimed that attorneys acting on behalf of Joe Biden’s son Hunter have made numerous attempts to retrieve the hard drive from his computer that is now at the center of an FBI investigation.
Such extensive efforts reportedly include sending legal letters to the owner of a Delaware repair shop where the son of the Democratic presidential nominee had reportedly left his laptop to be repaired in 2019.
Last week, the New York Post published emails and photos that the outlet said were contained in a laptop owned by Hunter Biden, which he apparently never picked up from the repair shop.
The hard drive was recovered by a third party from the store owner in January and later shipped to Giuliani. Giuliani apparently sat on the information for months, before turning it over to the Post a few weeks before the election.

The messages suggested that Hunter Biden had arranged for a senior executive at a Ukrainian energy company, of which Hunter was on the board of directors, to meet with his father in person, when he was vice president and in charge of policy. of the United States with Ukraine.
In emails published by the Post, Biden is shown chasing a lucrative deal involving China’s largest private energy company, saying in a message that the proposed deal would be ‘interesting to me and my family’, before discuss compensation packages.
Bannon, who alerted the Post to the existence of the laptop, claimed that Biden’s lawyers reached out to Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, hours before the emails were posted in a last-ditch effort to recover the alleged hard drive. by Hunter.
‘His lawyer, [George] Mesires of Chicago, one of the best attorneys in the country, emailed us. Called the repair shop, emailed us, emailed the repair shop saying Hunter left them, forgot to pick them up. It’s an email, ” Bannon told the Australian.
Also, we have not posted this, Hunter Biden’s attorney has come to us with phone calls and emails saying I have to get the hard drive back. This is not a Russian intelligence operation, they have admitted that it is their hard drive.
“It was the night before we came out with the first story, I think, because the NY Post went to them to comment… they panicked. An attorney started calling and sent the emails. ‘
Bannon reiterated his claim that Biden’s attorney had also sent legal notices to the repair shop owner requesting the return of the hard drive.
We are giving breaking news. In fact, in a panic, he called … because Hunter, when he left him, there were two or three of these stores in Wilmington. They called and realized it could be this guy. He called him and when the guy said I don’t remember I’m going back to my store, he sent a couple of panicked emails saying, “I have to get my hands on this right away.”
The messages suggested that Hunter Biden had arranged for a senior executive of a Ukrainian energy company, of which Hunter was on the board of directors, to meet with his father in person, when he was vice president and in charge of relations. of the United States with Ukraine.
Bannon, who said Giuliani contacted him in late August to help with the media strategy for the emails, said he has been saving the legal letters and hoping to use them if Biden’s camp tried to deny that the laptop belonged to Hunter.
‘We haven’t published it yet. We’re holding it back to make sure if they get into the trap, we’re just going to drop it, ” he said.
“ My training with Andrew Breitbart shut down, let them lie and then hit, let them fall for the lie, let them lie down a little more, let them fall again. We have the attorney’s emails, if we need to release them, we’ll post them. ‘
The FBI is reportedly conducting an investigation into whether the allegations are part of a Russian disinformation campaign against Biden’s campaign, though the agency has declined to speak publicly on the matter.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has warned that Russia is trying to ‘denigrate’ Biden ahead of the election and hurt his chances of ousting Trump.
Bannon was arrested and charged in August with defrauding donors for a private fundraising effort called We Build the Wall, which was intended to bolster the president’s flagship initiative along the Mexican border.
The fundraising effort raised more than $ 25 million, and prosecutors say Bannon used nearly $ 1 million for personal expenses.
Bannon pleaded not guilty to the charges on August 20.
