Intelligence officials say US adversaries are targeting congressional races with disinformation
Russia and China have launched influence operations designed to help or hurt candidates in specific congressional races. The warning from intelligence officials comes during a particularly tight battle for the House and Senate, where control could be decided by just a handful of races. In the presidential race, intelligence officials have concluded that Russia supports Trump, who has criticized Ukraine and the NATO alliance while praising Russian President Vladimir Putin. Iran opposes Trump’s reelection, intelligence officials have said, seeing him as more likely to increase tension between Washington and Tehran. Officials said Monday they have seen no indications that Iranian disinformation is targeting down ballot races so far in 2024.
