The Democratic campaign bus was heading from San Antonio to Austin on Interstate 35 on Friday when it was surrounded by several vehicles bearing the symbols and flags of President Donald Trump.
Cars tried to slow the bus and pull it off the road, writes The New York Times. A vehicle must have passed the bus and attempted to stop in the middle of the freeway.
On the bus was several campaign workers who alerted the police. With the help of the patrols, they were finally able to reach Austin, according to the Democratic Party. Neither Joe Biden nor his vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, sat in the vehicle.
The incident is now being investigated by the FBI, writes the Texas Tribune.
For safety reasons, campaign workers chose to cancel an event that would have taken place in a parking lot in downtown Austin later Friday. An election rally in the suburb of Pflugerville was also canceled.
“Unfortunately, Trump supporters have pushed the limits of safety,” Sheryl Cole, a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, wrote on Twitter.
“Rather than engage in a constructive conversation about the drastic differences in Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s visions for our country, Trump supporters in Texas attempted to endanger our staff, our supporters, and others,” said Tariq Thowfeek, Officer communications. for the Biden campaign in Texas in a statement.
Hos Donald Trump however, the tones are different. The night before Sunday, Swedish time, the president posted a video on Twitter where you can see the convoy and the campaign bus, with the text “I love Texas” in large letters.
