After leaving the White House, Bannon campaigned against the establishment Republicans in the U.S. Senate. By October 2017, three of them had either resigned or had been voted out, apparently due to Bannon's efforts, at least in part.<ref>Boyle, Matthew (October 24, 2017).

The latter incident severely hurt his standing with President Trump, and he was forced to resign several days later.<ref>[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/09/stephen-k-bannon-steps-breitbart-news-network/ Stephen K.
