Bannon’s spokesperson issued the following statement targeting McConnell:
“Team Mitch did everything in their power to endanger our majority in the Senate and threaten the passage of the Trump agenda by ensuring the outcome that we saw last night.”
According to insiders, McConnell made it his goal to destroy Bannon politically. Bannon’s presence during the 2018 midterm elections is out of the question for McConnell.
By some accounts, according to Politico, many GOP insiders are breathing a sigh of relief in Moore’s defeat. Many Republican Senators no doubt would have been apprehensive about working with him.
President Trump had more of a tame reaction to Moore’s defeat. The President argued on Twitter that he never expected Moore to win. “I was right!” he wrote. This is of course ironic considering the President vocally supported Moore close the election. He urged voters on Twitter to elect him.
