1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: Foreign Interference In The 2024 Election

As this election season wraps up, we step away from what the Harris and Trump campaigns are doing in the final stretch.

Instead, we look to what's happening outside the U.S. that could impact the election. The federal government and technology companies like Microsoft are reporting that, once again, foreign actors are trying to interfere in the presidential election and down ballot races. That includes hostile countries like Russia and geopolitical competitors like China.

We discuss why countries want to interfere in this election, what they hope to gain, and what these operations typically look like.
