I have had the advantage of the opportunity to meet with Mr. Trump on several occasions. And my experience is that he’s very intelligent. He’s thirsty for information.

About this person

Kobach grew up in Topeka and stacked credentials at Harvard, Oxford, and Yale Law before a stint at the Justice Department and a teaching post. A 2004 congressional run went nowhere, but by 2007 he'd risen to chair the Kansas GOP. Elected secretary of state in 2010 and again in 2014, he used the office as a platform for his immigration hardline work. In 2018 he edged out sitting governor Jeff Colyer in a razor-thin Republican primary, then lost the general to Democrat Laura Kelly by five points in a three-way split. A second-place Senate primary finish in 2020 looked like the end of the line. He won the attorney general's race in 2022.
