Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and his allies are preparing primary challenges against Republican senators, a source close to Bannon confirmed to CNN.
The target list includes Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, Alabama Sen. Luther Strange, Nevada Sen. Dean Heller and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, the source said.
Flake, a strong critic of Trump, has not backed down from the President in the wake of Trump's public attacks against him.
Politico first reported the developments.
The news comes as Bannon claimed "the Republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election" in an interview that aired on "60 Minutes" Sunday night.
When asked by CBS' Charlie Rose who in the GOP establishment opposed Trump's agenda, Bannon named Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan specifically....

Go Steve go.
Now it makes why he left Washington.
Palin did primary threats to Republicans in 2010 and 2014 to great effect.
I agree! It should be a two-fold effort. Michigan is ripe to turn. A little effort from his forces would put a conservative Republican in that Senate seat.
Good
This pleases me. A legitimate reason to donate cash to a great cause.
Vulnerable Democrats include Kaine in Virginia.

Same reason he gave CBS (and PBS) this big video interview.
And Bannon has got the Mercers to fund these primary challengers.
Twice! lol....we all have done it.
HOORAY Steve Bannon and allies.
He’s a never trump goon still crying in his fruit loops.
This is a good development, particularly the search for qualified candidates to run against RINOs, like our Sen. Corker here in TN. The big problem we had fighting Corker six years ago was we hd two excellent conservative candidates, neither of whom was willing to back down to the other. By being such egotists they split the vote, screwed each other, and screwed conservative Tennesseans. I hope what Bannon’s doing will help us to organize behind a single conservative candidate who’ll CORK CORKER.
Yes! He is yet another venomous asshole who needs to be forcibly retired!
Somehow, someway we Real Americans need to band together to rid the USA of these anti-American poseurs!
If we don’t, sureasHell they will get rid of US!
