Bannon cites Trump's 39% support among black men and a massive swing in heavily Hispanic Starr County, Texas, warning Republicans to protect Medicaid since it's now a lifeline for the white, black, and Hispanic working class.

In this bit8 moments
  • Trump won 39% of Black men's votes, and many more simply won't vote Democrat—either outcome strengthens the coalition.
  • Starr County, Texas—97% Hispanic, working-class—flipped from 60% Clinton in 2016 to 16% Trump in 2024.
  • Both the African-American and Hispanic working classes are moving toward Trump if he wins the presidency.
  • Medicaid is no longer about race—it's about economic distress, with 80-90% of babies born in Idaho on it.
  • You have to remove illegal aliens from Medicaid and add work requirements, but can't eliminate it without destroying working-class support.
  • Ten to twelve million illegal aliens have been given everything—and Tim says he wouldn't blame them for taking the invitation.
  • Mass deportation costs $175 billion, but Tim only targets those who arrived in the last four years under Biden.
  • Everything comes down to the American citizen—ethnicity, race, or gender doesn't matter in that calculation.
