Steve Bannon, a key figure in Trumpism, and Bernie Sanders, a progressive leader, have found common ground in their critique of H-1B visas.
The H-1B visa program, intended to attract skilled foreign workers, is under scrutiny following Donald Trump's appointment of Sriram Krishnan as an AI adviser amid backlash.
Elon Musk and Bannon have clashed over these visas; Musk supports their necessity while Bannon calls for their total elimination.
Sanders added to the debate, arguing that the H-1B program undermines American jobs by replacing them with cheaper foreign labor.
This controversy exemplifies the complex dynamics within Trump's coalition, balancing donor interests with the concerns of his voter base.
