With the 2024 elections just weeks away, U.S. intelligence officials have issued a stark warning: Russia and China are actively interfering in congressional, state, and local races. According to a recent assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Kremlin is focused on supporting isolationist candidates opposed to U.S. aid for Ukraine, hoping to shift the balance of power in favor of politicians like Senator J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate.
Meanwhile, China is working to sway races by opposing candidates who challenge Beijing’s interests, particularly concerning Taiwan. Both nations’ meddling signals a growing threat to U.S. election integrity, adding yet another layer of tension to an already heated political season.
