President Donald Trump praised a video Saturday evening resembling a group of cars decorated with pro-Trump flags that allegedly tried to run a Biden campaign bus near a road in Texas.
"I love Texas!" The president tweeted
in a short video that the Biden bus runs on the highway, surrounded by cars
displaying Trump flags. The scene was similar to an incident on Friday in which
Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden's campaign signaled the cancellation
of a state event due to security concerns.

campaign bus en route from San Antonio to Austin on Friday. Some of the
vehicles in the group ran in front of the bus on Interstate 35 and slowed down
in an apparent attempt to stop the bus.

had to "carefully" cancel a program in Texas after he tried to run
his bus "off the road." Biden staff, worried about their safety,
called 911 and asked for help to reach their destination. The Austin Police
Department told the Washington Post that no arrests were made’ when officers
joined the Biden bus in Austin.
Democrat Sheryl Cole, a member of the Texas House
of Representatives, tweeted: "This is the first time for me - but we've
just joined the Flogger Will / @ Joe Biden Campaign, Austin Young Dames, and
much more for security reasons." "Unfortunately, pro-Trump protesters
have gone beyond safe havens."
In a statement, Tariq Thowfeek,, Texas
communications director for the Biden campaign, said, "Instead of engaging
in fruitful conversations about the different insights that Biden and Donald
Trump has about our country, Trump in Texas Proponents of her case have been
working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.

attacked the state as part of a "war for the nation". The pass was
traveling, in which prominent Texas Democrats were invited’ to announce their
support for the vice president.

shared footage of Trump supporters as they approached the I-35, accusing Democrats
