President Donald Trump says his former White House adviser Steve Bannon is doing what he "thinks is the right thing" but he will try to talk Bannon out of seeking primaries against some Senate Republicans.
The president was asked Monday asked about Bannon's attempt to unseat certain Senate Republicans who are aligned with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The president says, "Steve is doing what Steve thinks is the right thing." But he adds that he has a "fantastic relationship" with Republicans in the Senate.
McConnell said in the Rose Garden that it's important to support Republicans who can win in November. He says, "winners make policy and losers go home."
