President Trump reportedly reached out to Steve Bannon to offer encouragement after the former White House chief strategist called for Republicans who don't support Trump's agenda to be ousted.
Trump called Bannon to offer the encouragement after Bannon appeared on Fox News earlier this week saying he is seeking to line up challengers to GOP incumbents, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the call.
White House adviser Jared Kushner also reportedly texted Bannon his praise after the interview. Bannon then celebrated the interview with friends across the street from the Fox studio.
"There's a coalition coming together that is going to challenge every Republican incumbent except for Ted Cruz," Bannon said during the interview Monday night on "Hannity."
