Steve Bannon predicts a Republican 'civil war' after the US midterms, with 'monster' legislative battles before the new Congress sits

Steve Bannon, Trump's former White House chief strategist, warns that Republican infighting will explode into open "civil war" after the US midterm elections, with bitter fights over legislation expected before the new Congress is sworn in. He describes the coming clashes as "monster" battles that will pit factions of the party against each other.

Bannon predicts the legislative wars will erupt in the lame-duck period before the new Congress sits.

Pentagon-linked influencers are separately raising a "specter of menace," warning of civil war threats in the aftermath of the midterms.
