Alert: GOP may try to BLOCK 'seating' Dems if they win Congress, says Trump WH vet

08 SEP 2026 · 19:11 ET·9:22·350K VIEWS·12.1× USUAL PACE

Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb warned that Republicans, facing a potential Democratic majority, are 'lawyering up' to challenge election results, expanding privileges, and reviewing oversight materials. Cobb suggested that former President Trump, driven by narcissism and a desire to avoid spending campaign funds, may intend to interfere with elections and potentially urge House Speaker Mike Johnson not to seat democratically elected representatives.

WHY IT MATTERS

If these actions materialize, they could lead to a severe constitutional crisis, undermining the democratic process and the peaceful transfer of power, with significant implications for the legitimacy of US elections.

ALSO DISCUSSED

The discussion also covers the Trump administration's attempt to seize ballot review powers through the Postal Service, former President Trump's efforts to host a 'Trump-y' midterm convention, and the public split between Trump and Elon Musk.
