Trump believes Bannon can help lead some kind of political comeback, senior adviser said

From CNN's Jim Acosta

A senior Trump adviser said part of the motivation for the President to issue a pardon for Bannon is that he believes his former chief strategist can help lead a political comeback for President Trump. The outgoing President has discussed the idea of another run in 2024. Though some advisers have dismissed the idea as Trump is now leaving office in disgrace. Trump also saw Bannon as one of the few remaining high profile conservatives to back the president all the way to the bitter end.

As for their relationship, once fractured after Bannon was fired following Charlottesville, the adviser said, “they made up.”
