Do you believe political movements should depend on prominent leaders to keep supporters engaged?
Lance Wallnau, 70, declined to rally his supporters for the Republican Party leading into the November 2026 midterm elections. Instead, he is urging his followers to prioritize personal lifestyle and diet changes over political activism.
Why it matters
Wallnau, an early supporter of Donald Trump in 2015, believes the current movement struggles to connect with young people. He stated that followers cannot be held responsible for the entire nation regarding specific election outcomes.
The activist is 70 years old and has authored works like 'Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate'. It is currently unknown who he intends to select as a successor to Charlie Kirk.
The players
Lance Wallnau
He is a 70-year-old author and activist known for his work on the 7 Mountain Mandate.
Donald Trump
He is the current President of the United States.
Charlie Kirk

The details
At an October 2026 'As One' event in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Wallnau instructed his paying partners to perform a symbolic karate chop. He has expressed interest in the political systems of El Salvador, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland as he shifts his focus toward building post-Trump infrastructure.
Timeline
Lance Wallnau first backed Donald Trump in 2015.
The 'As One' event took place in October 2026.
The 2026 midterm elections occurred in November 2026.
Political Context
The move marks a departure from the political influence strategies historically associated with the 7 Mountain Mandate. Dissenting voices within the movement argue that abandoning active election participation undermines years of grassroots organizing efforts.
The shift away from institutional political support may change how conservative grassroots groups organize and donate resources ahead of future election cycles. Readers may notice a pivot in local activist rhetoric toward personal wellness and leadership transitions.
The takeaway
Wallnau's decision to focus on post-Trump infrastructure reflects a broader cooling of interest in traditional Republican party mobilization. Supporters are now encouraged to direct their energy toward internal organizational changes rather than national election outcomes.
