In his D-Day speech about democracy, President Biden made subtle references to his predecessor, without mentioning him by name. The speech came just a day after Biden had cautioned against the perils of isolationism.

The Washington DC board of elections has been targeted with harassing messages for allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections. While the city only permits non-citizens to participate in local elections, Republicans have seized on this issue to sow doubt in the election results. One caller left a message for the board of elections on 1 May, expressing outrage at the city's decision to allow non-US citizens to vote in local elections. The caller, who did not identify themselves, angrily questioned the board's authority to let "illegals" vote in the nation's capital. The caller went as far as to label the board members as traitors to their own country. The controversy surrounding non-citizens voting in local elections has become a focal point for Republicans looking to undermine the integrity of the electoral process in Washington DC. Despite the city's clear distinction between local and federal elections, the issue has sparked heated debate and criticism. The board of elections, led by executive director Monica Evans, has been on the receiving end of these harassing messages, highlighting the intense emotions and political divisions surrounding the issue of non-citizens voting in local elections.
