Seemingly 'bold MAGA' members are terrified of Donald Trump's base: elections expert

There are two kinds of Republicans and one of those group is incredibly afraid of Donald Trump, an elections expert said on MSNBC Monday night.

"The Republican party only has two flavors," said Marc Elias, an American Democratic Party elections lawyer. "There is bold MAGA and scared MAGA. They all act like bold MAGA in public but a lot of them are just scared MAGA."

There's just one key difference between the two voting blocs, according to Elias. It's the object of scared MAGA's fears.

"They are afraid of Donald Trump, they're afraid of his base," Elias said.

Elias did not appear afraid of Trump, reminding viewers that in 2020 he successfully represented President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee in dozens of successful cases when the Trump campaign contested the 2020 presidential election results.

"I wound up having to go to court to prevent Donald Trump from throwing those ballots out," Elias said. "It was a hair's whisker from the results winding up the other way, and it was no thanks to a single Republican...neither the bold MAGA nor the scared MAGA were willing to stand up to him."
