Stephen Bannon is coming back to the airwaves.

President Trump's former chief strategist will return to SiriusXM's Patriot Channel starting Tuesday, The New York Times reports, rejoining the show he had hosted before joining Trump's election effort last year. Bannon has also resumed his post as chairman of Breitbart News since leaving the White House in August.

Since his departure from the White House, Bannon has vowed to start a war against "establishment" Republicans and has made very public threats to support primary challenges against many GOP lawmakers. As part of that war, Bannon will now lead Breitbart's 2018 midterm election coverage on the SiriusXM channel. The conservative news network additionally unveiled several new live radio programs and touted Sebastian Gorka, a controversial former Trump aide, as one of the "political thought leaders" who would feature prominently in 2018 programming.
