Government warns of 'heightened threat' ahead of midterms

The U.S. government Friday warned of a “heightened threat” to the midterm elections due to a rise in domestic violent extremism and ideological grievances and access to potential targets, according to a joint intelligence bulletin obtained by CBS News. 

“Potential targets of DVE violence include candidates running for public office, elected officials, election workers, political rallies, political party representatives, racial and religious minorities, or perceived ideological opponents,” the bulletin stated.
