Scripps News

#ICYMI Here are the first 15 minutes of our recent investigative special on political violence for Scripps News. We traveled the country, gathering incredible stories from political figures and citizens who have been victimized by violence or threats. We exclusively spoke with the elderly man who was run over by an ATV while placing Trump campaign signs in his brother's front yard. We interviewed the state senator who had bullets whizzing by her bed and by her child's bed during a drive-by shooting. And we talked to a staffer who was feet away from a gunman when he opened fire on their small campaign office, just missing the candidate. We also spoke with the Capitol Police chief about how he's preparing his department for the upcoming election and beyond. We sorted through body camera footage, court documents, and police reports to show how prevalent threats and violence really are. You can find the whole special and our original three-part series here: https://lnkd.in/gvuyFSVE.

🗳 Election day is around the corner and Scripps News continues to aggressively report the stories that concern our nation. A recent Ipsos/Scripps News poll, has received national pickup in more than two dozen publications including Forbes, CNN, Politico, The Hill, and Fox News. That poll found a majority of Americans support the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, including 25% of self-identified Democrats. The poll also found a majority are concerned that non-citizen voting will affect results of the 2024 election. Asked to choose who would do a better job handling immigrants, 44% of Americans selected President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris (34%). Immigration and inflation were the top issues among voters, according to the national poll conducted after last week’s presidential debate. Among registered voters, 71% said they worry that officials won’t accept the results of the election and 69% are concerned about foreign interference in the democratic process.
