Bannon says an O’Rourke-Harris ticket poses the greatest threat to Trump in 2020

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon reportedly told a conservative Italian group that he believes a presidential ticket with former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is the most challenging that President Trump could face in 2020. 

“Beto on the ticket with Harris is the most dangerous ticket for Trump,” Bannon said, according to the Daily Beast. Both Harris and O’Rourke are among a crowded Democratic field vying for the chance to take on Trump.

O’Rourke launched his campaign last week and raised more money on his first day than any other candidate so far. He and Harris are facing off against several other prominent politicians including Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.)

Bannon had a top position on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and also served in the White House until the summer of 2017. He has also worked as the executive chairman of the far-right website Breitbart News.
