Politicians Targeted: Are You Next? 9,500 Threats! | JQJO

Democratic and Republican representatives are living in fear due to a surge in threats against Congress. Nearly 9,500 threats were reported in 2024. A new program provides up to $20,000 for home security upgrades and $5,000 monthly for personal security for lawmakers. This follows recent political violence, including the assassination attempt on President Trump and the Minnesota shootings that killed a state representative and her husband. Lawmakers are concerned about their safety, especially at home, and are seeking solutions to reduce political violence and rhetoric.
