According to Microsoft, Russia is working to spread fake news to help the Republicans win the 2024 election, while the Chinese are doing the same thing to help the Democrats win.
The Microsoft Report claimed, “Actors have parroted antisemitic messages, amplified accusations of corruption, and promoted opposition candidates. While not always resulting in high levels of engagement, these efforts demonstrate China’s sustained attempts influence U.S. politics across the board. History has shown foreign actors’ ability to rapidly distribute deceptive content can significantly impact public perception and electoral outcomes. With a particular focus on the 48 hours before and after Election Day, voters, government institutions, candidates, and parties must remain vigilant against deceptive and suspicious activity online.”

China is meddling with American elections in three states while also smearing Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, according to Microsoft.
A report from the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center said China is targeting three Republicans – Reps. Barry Moore of Alabama, Michael McCaul of Texas as well as Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee – all of whom are up for election next month, as well as Rubio.
“Chinese influence operations have focused on down-ballot Republican candidates and members of Congress that advocate for anti-Chinese policies,” Microsoft said in its report.
