Harassing the Biden bus could backfire on Republicans

On Friday, a swarm of trucks harassed a Biden-Harris bus on Interstate 35 in Texas as it headed to Pflugerville, just north of the state capital. Armed supporters of President Trump had already shown up to disrupt a gathering in Austin and continued following the bus as it departed.

As the bus traveled up the interstate, the trucks pulled up and boxed it in, slowing traffic. Ultimately, a vehicle rammed a Biden volunteer’s car. In response, the Democrats decided to cancel the next gathering to avoid the escalating violence.
