Steve Bannon wants Republicans to start acting like they’re on offense.
Bannon said his show has promoted President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill better than “anybody” and wondered why supposed Trump allies aren’t doing the same.
“I haven’t seen a massive effort to sell the big beautiful bill and actually what it stands for,” Bannon said during his Wednesday “War Room” podcast.
“For instance, we sell the big beautiful bill here in the supply side tax cut of it in a more sophisticated way, not just the Fox News talking points, in a more sophisticated way, with bright people than anybody,” Bannon said on Wednesday.
BANNON: WarRoom sells the big, beautiful bill (the supply-side tax cut) in a more sophisticated way than anyone. But I noticed a paucity of town halls during Speaker Johnson’s August recess. I haven’t seen a massive effort to sell the bill and what it actually stands for. pic.twitter.com/zOYM6Y1Jsy

He argued that lawmakers need to get their constituents behind the bill before the midterms and said Republicans need to get back to town halls, despite the constant disruptions.
“Johnson and Thune should cancel all overseas junkets for members and force them to have town halls, meet and greets, editorial board meetings — anything to get the word out on the BBB. The supply-side tax cut needs to be sold, and it ain’t gonna sell itself,” Bannon told Politico.
“The 2026 midterms have started, and the Republicans are letting down the president.”
In June, Bannon admitted that he wasn’t a big fan of the big beautiful bill but argued it was a critical step on the road to economic recovery.
BANNON: We were never fans of the big beautiful bill, but it has to pass. Working and middle class tax cuts must be extended. Kill it and everything stops. Fix it in the Senate. That’s the plan. pic.twitter.com/usyYSFovAF

Meanwhile, there is a handful of GOP lawmakers who are praising the benefits of the BBB.
Sen. John Kennedy said Americans will be able to choose what kind of car they want to drive under Trump’s bill.
My car doesn’t run off pixie dust and unicorn urine—it runs on gasoline.
It was wrong when President Biden punished the hell out of our fossil fuel industry. The One Big Beautiful Bill is helping America return to an all-of-the-above energy policy. pic.twitter.com/XIwKoDzEJA

Gubernatorial candidate and Florida Rep. Byron Donalds said it means big tax cuts for his constituents:
DID YOU KNOW: Because we passed H.R. 1 – “The One Big Beautiful Bill” the average Floridian will now receive a TAX CUT of:
$4,998 in 2026

As for town halls? That might be a challenge as it seems unhinged Dem shenanigans are continuing:
Democrats are demanding town halls and public forums with legislators– but when given the chance, they turn them into shouting matches to silence speech. Thank you to Senator @berniemoreno for showing up and staying poised during an embarrassing moment for the Cleveland City…
