Russia already interferes in the US elections with messages about the border and indirect aid from Trump. The advance of artificial intelligence and political polarization within the country create a “perfect storm” that may end up benefiting Vladimir Putin, experts warn.

Russia is already spreading disinformation about the 2024 US presidential election, using fake online accounts and bots to harm President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats. The spread of attacks against Biden is part of an ongoing effort by the Kremlin to undermine US military aid to Ukraine and US support and solidarity for NATO.
