China going after down-ballot races: report reveals which lawmakers are in their crosshairs

China is targeting anti-CCP down-ballot Republicans in their election interference efforts, according to a report by Microsoft. Chinese influence actors have gone after lawmakers such as Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Reps. Michael McCaul, Barry Moore, and Marco Rubio. The report also reveals that Russia continues to smear Vice President Kamala Harris with fake videos, while Iran has been eyeing election-related websites and mainstream media outlets. Misinformation campaigns by U.S. adversaries vary in their impact, with some gaining little traction and others being amplified by thousands of unwitting Americans. Microsoft warns that vigilance is necessary against deceptive and suspicious online activity in the days surrounding the election.
