Two-thirds in US fear violence could follow election, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Two out of three Americans say they are concerned that political violence could follow the Nov. 5 election rematch between Democratic President Joe Biden and his Republican predecessor Donald Trump, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The survey of 3,934 U.S. adults found widespread worries that the U.S. could see a repeat of the unrest that followed Trump's 2020 election defeat, when the then-president's false claim that his loss was the result of fraud prompted thousands of followers to storm the U.S. Capitol. Trump is once again laying the groundwork to contest the results should he lose to Biden a second time.

The heads of three universities and an academic honor society are due to testify on Thursday to the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce about universities' handling of pro-Palestinian protests. The hearing is the sixth event the committee and its subcommittees have held on schools' responses to tensions that have flared since Hamas militants mounted a deadly attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 and taking more than 250 hostage. Nearly 36,000 Palestinians have been killed and 80,000 injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza, according to Gaza's health ministry.
