Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb says President Trump intends to try to “steal” the 2026 midterm elections “where possible.” Cobb makes the claim in an interview on MSNBC, responding to recent political reports and the broader election environment as the midterms approach.
Cobb links his concern to developments within the Republican Party, including reports that some GOP lawmakers are declining to attend a Republican National Committee event. He frames the issue as part of a wider pattern affecting Trump’s political standing roughly two years into his second term. While his remarks are presented as a warning, neither outlet details specific allegations or evidence in the excerpts provided. The focus is on Cobb’s assessment of Trump’s approach to elections rather than on verifiable, independently cited incidents.
Across the two sources, the central point is Cobb’s statement about potential interference in the 2026 midterms. Both outlets present it as a political forecast tied to party behavior and Trump’s brand, without including further substantiation or legal specifics in the material provided.
