Stephen Miller, White House senior adviser for policyStephen Miller, White House senior adviser for policy
Although Miller has broken with Bannon in the Game of Thrones that defines the Trump White House, he still is the most prominent booster of Bannonite ideology in the administration.

Matt Boyle, Washington editor, Breitbart NewsMatt Boyle, Washington editor, Breitbart News
Boyle is a long-time Bannon protege who has shaped Breitbart’s political coverage. He spent weeks on the ground in Alabama before last month’s US Senate race and had a number of interviews with Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Raheem Kassam, London editor, Breitbart NewsRaheem Kassam, London editor, Breitbart News
The former Nigel Farage aide has decamped Washington and become a important figure in the Breitbart orbit. He has been hosting the website’s daily radio show since Bannon’s departure and an aggressive advocate of his former boss as well as Trump. Kassam has also taken the opportunity to throw bombs on the other side of the Atlantic, defending Trump’s “shithole” comment by telling Sky News that London had become “a shithole” under Sadiq Khan.

Tucker Carlson, Fox News hostTucker Carlson, Fox News host
The host of a nightly show on Fox News has become the leading television voice for conservative populism. Carlson, the well groomed son of a former US ambassador, represents economic nationalism with a preppy face. He has long gleefully engaged in the culture wars that animated Bannon, targeting campus leftists and establishment Republicans with glee.

If Breitbart slips in Bannon’s absence, the Daily Caller, increasingly moulded by Johnson, is a prime candidate to replace it as the centre of the conservative internet. Johnson, who has served stints at BuzzFeed and the Independent Journal Review, has long crafted a reputation for driving conservatives to click on his stories and pushing them to go viral with headlines such as: “Sarah Sanders Just Burned CNN So Bad The Briefing Room Let Out An Audible Gasp.” If Breitbart slips in Bannon’s absence the Daily Caller, increasingly moulded by Johnson, is a prime candidate to replace it at the centre of the conservative internet.
