Joe Bidens presidential campaign canceled a Friday event in Austin, Texas, after harassment from a pro-Trump contingent.
Texas has emerged as a battleground state in Tuesdays presidential election, with polls showing the typically Republican stronghold now only marginally favoring President Donald Trump. The Biden campaign scheduled a Friday event in the state, in a bid to drum up last-minute support.

If Texas goes blue the country is gone, but didn't Ted Cruz have a hard time winning re-election a year or two ago? And I think there was a closer than I would've expected race in Georgia too.
The comments on the Twit thread I read about this were hilarious. “ATTEMPTED MURDER”, “Armed Trumpers right next to Biden’s bus”, “Where was the secret servie?”.
Saw one pic of a truck decked out in Trump/US flags and people standing behind the cab holding AR rifles. Looked like something out of Mad Max. I hope Joe peed himself.
Hey, they’d have been in good company in Austin since it’s a hemorrhoid on the butt of Texas! Houston’s teetering but Ft. Worth???? Hardly.......I guess they don’t like the way Texans show their disapproval for vermin that come into our state preaching for things that we abhor......go on GIT!!
Texas is a swing state. As in Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
Ahhhhhh...Haaaaaa
Off year elections, not a Presidential one with Trump on the ticket.
I saw some comment earlier that KaMAla was at the Stop Six area of FW and only had a couple of dozen folks there.
No, the white car tried to push the truck onto the shoulder (or at least out of his lane). The driver of the truck would have none of that, and pushed the white car back into its lane. The white car then decided it was best to leave the area.
Mommy they are bothering me!
