On Monday night, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and Patty McMurray joined Steve Bannon on his popular pre-election War Room episode.

During the discussion, Steve asked TGP Editor Jim Hoft what his predictions were for the 2026 midterms.

Here is a transcript from Monday night’s conversation:

Steve Bannon: Hoft is going to lead us off here. Jim, your assessment sitting at the Gateway Pundit—you’re putting up stories all day about the polling, about maybe some of the polling misses, about these different campaigns. What’s your assessment on the eve of game day, sir?

Jim Hoft: Thanks, Steve. Good to be with you. Yeah, I saw Claire McCaskill from Missouri. Of course, I have a home in Missouri, and since she’s been in office Missouri has gone deep red. She wasn’t able to convince anybody here of anything, and she—I think she said something that was honest. She’s worried, and she should be, and I feel the same way I felt in 2020, 2024, 2016. You know, everything was against Trump. Everything. And Democrats wanted to make this election against Trump, and Trump called them out. He called them to the floor, and he’s been going around to all these states, and I just can’t admire that man any more than I already do. I think it’s going to be a big night for Republicans tomorrow. That’s my call, Steve, and we’ll see.

Bannon: What is—what evidence or what are you feeling? You’ve got a pretty good feel for this. What are you sensing when you say it’s a pretty big night for Republicans? You mean we hold the House and we hold the Senate, like at 218 and at 51 or 52? Is that what—that would be to me a monumental night. That would be a monumental night. Why is Jim Hoft calling this?

Hoft: You know, I think the Senate looks very good for Republicans right now. I like that candidate in Iowa. She’s running hard up there. I think Abdul in Michigan is going down. The guy is just radical. I don’t think Michigan voters are going to go for it. You know, our friend Patty McMurray who writes for the Gateway Pundit, she put up a story. She wrote—drove down the street in one of the neighborhoods around where she lives, a Jewish area, and they’re all Democrat for Mike Rogers. All the signs on their yards. We’re seeing a lot of that in Michigan. I think Wisconsin is a complete mess. I would love to see Michelle La Tafoya in Minnesota. She should win, of course. But, you know, what I’ve also seen at the same time, Steve, is that the Democrats rely, I believe, on the fake ballots. All of these different people coming out, you know, James O’Keefe and others in Minnesota wearing burqas going in. They get to sign up another eight voters with them. And then we saw in Arizona, the Muckraker guys had talked to people. Everybody they talked to were cheating, you know? And I think we see this all over the place. I’m so glad that President Trump—there have been some arrests, of course, not enough, but I think that will make some people think twice when they try to steal this election. But I think Republicans—there’s more of us, Steve, and I love your segments with TPUSA. It’s been fantastic to see what’s going on in Arizona, and you know, those guys are heroes.

Bannon: Gateway Pundit—please put it back up at the top. This thing’s important, and Michigan is like Texas. It’s everything. Hoft, where do people go to Gateway Pundit, sir?

Hoft: Absolutely. It’s thegatewaypundit.com, Steve. We appreciate all your support and we appreciate all of our—

Bannon: No, no, no. You got—you guys are the—you guys are the—the people in Georgia, the people in Maricopa County. You guys are heroes. It’s been so easy just to collapse on the thing you did, and Patty McMurray was right from the very first instant in November of 2020. Just remember that. They tried to put this guy in bankruptcy, tried to put him in prison. Patty McMurray, you’re a patriot and hero. Hoft, you are a patriot and hero also. Thanks, guys. We’ll check in tonight and see how it goes tomorrow.
