A campaign sign for the Biden-Harris Democratic ticket challenging incumbent US President Donald Trump has been defaced with a swastika.
The vandalism on the sign supporting former US Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), was discovered in Ankeny, Iowa, on Tuesday.
Neighbors of the property where the incident occurred told police that the painting was probably done on Monday night or in the early hours of Tuesday.
Sgt. Ryan Evans, spokesperson for the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, said no suspects have yet been identified.
Amid the contentious election coming up on Tuesday between Trump and Biden, reports of vandalized or stolen campaign signs have popped up across the US.
Additionally, in Michigan, “a township employee attempting to remove an improperly placed Trump-Pence 2020 sign had his hand sliced open and required 13 stitches because it had been booby-trapped with razor blades,” noted The Hill.
Trump held a rally last week in Des Moines; meanwhile, Biden will be returning to Iowa this week for the first time since becoming the Democratic nominee, noted the outlet.
