Ty Cobb, who served as a lawyer in the Trump White House, claimed during an appearance on the program 'MS NOW' that former President Donald Trump intends to 'steal' the 2026 midterm elections wherever he is able to do so. Cobb’s remarks were delivered in the context of a broader discussion regarding the current state of the Republican Party.

Specifically, Cobb pointed to reports that several Republican lawmakers have chosen to skip events hosted by the Republican National Committee. He suggested that these absences are a reflection of growing unease among party members regarding Trump’s political influence and brand as his second term progresses. While Cobb framed these actions as a deliberate attempt to subvert electoral processes, he did not provide specific evidence or a detailed plan of how such an effort would be executed. The comments highlight an ongoing divide within the GOP, where some figures continue to express public concern over the former president's approach to democratic institutions and party leadership. As of now, there has been no official response from the Trump campaign or the Republican National Committee regarding Cobb’s specific allegations of intent to interfere with future election cycles.
