This year's elections in the US promise to be the most intense as the country is facing an unprecedented wave of political violence.

US political violence has in fact become the world's top threat, according to consulting firm Eurasia Group’s founder and president, Ian Bremmer, during Bloomberg's podcast, In the City.

He said that right now is a “horrible time for an election” in the US, noting that political violence has soared after former President Donald Trump’s criminal conviction last week.
