'A sinking ship': Dem analyst reveals 'worst part' of Trump's midterm absence for GOP

A progressive YouTuber revealed on Sunday the "worst part" of President Donald Trump's seeming absence from the 2026 midterm race for the GOP.

Brian Tyler Cohen said in a new episode of his podcast "No Lie" on Sunday that Trump is not campaigning like he once did, which gives Democrats an opportunity to connect with "regular people." He described the situation as a "huge opening" because Trump's absence is "dragging the rest of his party down with him."

"This is a guy who has had a clean break from anyone around this country," Cohen said, referring to Trump. "He doesn't go to rallies. He doesn't talk to regular people. He surrounded himself with tech bros and billionaire CEOs."

"And the worst part for the broader GOP is that he still expects total loyalty from them," he continued. "Meaning he himself is not only a sinking ship, but he's dragging the rest of his party down with him."

Cohen also caveated that this isn't some "we got him moment" for Democrats. But it does present an opportunity that the Democratic Party can capitalize on.

"If we can run people who are dynamic, who relate to the people that they're running to represent, who can exploit the Republicans' biggest weakness on the economy, then we have a very good chance to flip the House," Cohen said. "And I'm even bullish on the Senate. Nothing is more important right now than ensuring that Trump's agenda stops in its tracks in January of 2027."
