Project 2025 wasn’t the only concern on Steve Bannon’s mind yesterday.

He also raised the idea that Marjorie Taylor Greene should be appointed as head of homeland security in the new administration of the newly elected president.

Fellow Trump ally Greene, who was re-elected to Congress for a third time on Tuesday, spoke with Bannon after the overwhelming Republican victory.

Noting that the Georgia firefighter “has been with us from the beginning,” Bannon added, “Congressman Greene, you have done so much work. You’re such a fighter. Is there any truth to the rumor that you will take over at DHS?

Greene laughed but somewhat sidestepped the question, answering, “I don’t know what’s going to happen Steve, we’re just excited to have President Trump back in the White House.”

In his first show since the election was called, the late-night host, who took on Trump at this year’s Oscars, fought back tears as he listed people who could now suffer a second Trump administration.

The former Republican strategist has gone viral with this assessment of the vote, offered as part of Anderson Cooper’s CNN panel on election night.

Often highly divisive, Jennings argued that the outcome served as “the revenge of the regular old American working class” but also as “an indictment of the political information complex.”

He explained that the final weeks of the campaign were dominated by accusations of Nazism and fascism against the Trump campaign and media stories such as the Puerto Rico joke, Liz Cheney’s support for Harris, disgruntled Nikki Haley voters who may have supported Trump’s voice and before that, the popularity of camouflage hats from Tim Walz and Harris-Walz.

None of these talking points ultimately mattered, Jennings argued, accusing the liberal media of “ignoring the fundamentals” in the process, i.e. the state of the economy and the cost of living, which the public ultimately voted on.

Here it is John Bowden about why the pollsters got it so wrong – yet again.

Donald Trump’s allies have bragged that they can finally admit that Project 2025 is on “the agenda” when the president-elect returns to the White House next year.

Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who was released from prison just days before the election, took to his War Room podcast on Wednesday to reflect on the former president’s impending second term.

Bannon cited a social media post from conservative activist Matt Walsh, who challenged supporters of Kamala Harris on the right-wing blueprint.

“Now that the elections are over, I think we can finally say that Project 2025 is indeed the agenda. Lol,” Walsh posted on X in a likely attempt to convince his political opponents.

“Matt Walsh, I think, is a very smart and funny guy,” Bannon said on his podcast.

“Now that the election is over, I think we can finally say that Project 2025 is actually the agenda.”

Among all the bad news for Democrats yesterday, a bright spot for the party’s progressive wing was the re-election of Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar in Michigan and Minnesota, respectively.

The first two Muslim women to enter Congress are critics of Israel and important voices for Arab Americans.

They are also members of “The Squad,” along with New Yorker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a collective that lost two other members earlier this year when Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush were deselected in favor of opponents who had substantial financial backing from the pro .-Israeli lobby group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

An angry Desi Lydic urged Americans to “take a good damn good look at themselves” on last night’s show as she dissected Trump’s win over Harris – claiming the electorate would vote for anyone but a woman.

The social media kingmaker spoke to Tucker Carlson yesterday and suggested the Republican candidate won the vote this week because he went on Joe Rogan’s podcast and came across as “a normal person.”

The Harris campaign failed to agree a time slot with Rogan and the influential broadcaster delivered a belated statement of support to Trump, which in turn saw him thanked by UFC boss Dana White at the candidate’s victory party in Florida early in the morning. hours of yesterday morning.

There’s more of this Rhian Lubin.

Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton all posted on social media yesterday that they wished Trump and JD Vance well after their election victory (presumably through gritted teeth), setting a good example by openly accepting the outcome.

Both couples had campaigned for Harris, but their efforts ultimately fell short.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, had a more pragmatic message yesterday for disillusioned and disappointed party activists:
