Foreign Powers Intensify Disinformation Campaigns in U.S. Elections

Intelligence officials warn of increased efforts by Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba to influence both presidential and congressional races.

U.S. intelligence reports that foreign adversaries are targeting congressional, state, and local races with disinformation campaigns.
Russia aims to undermine candidates supporting U.S. aid to Ukraine, while China focuses on those opposing its interests regarding Taiwan.
Cuba is likely attempting to boost candidates who favor improved relations and reduced sanctions against the island.
Iran focuses its efforts on the presidential race, seeking to harm Trump's candidacy while supporting Harris.
Officials stress that disinformation efforts will likely continue post-Election Day, aiming to sow doubt about the election's legitimacy.
