SUMMARY: In 2020, a convoy of Trump supporters in pickup trucks and cars surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus on I-35, leading former Texas state senator Wendy Davis and a campaign staffer to sue six individuals involved. They claim assault and political intimidation violated state law and the Ku Klux Klan Act, arguing that while free speech is protected, it cannot be used to intimidate others from voting or campaigning. Davis described her anxiety during the incident, as the convoy swerved and slowed the bus. Defense attorneys argue it was a legitimate exercise of free speech, calling the lawsuit an abuse of the judicial system.

A jury will soon decide whether a convoy of Trump supporters intimidated people on a Biden-Harris bus along I-35 in San Marcos back in 2020.
