'Political violence is a sickness': Elected officials worry that attacks will escalate

Republicans and Democrats said Saturday's killings in Minnesota were a chilling reminder of the threats they receive regularly.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the increasing incidents of political violence and threats against elected officials in the United States, highlighting a disturbing trend that has intensified since the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. It details specific cases, such as the attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, and threats against other politicians like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Arizona election officials.
