Summary

Though several Proud Boys leaders remain in prison on January 6 charges, the far-right militia group remains active, with some chapters saying they’ll watch the polls Tuesday.

As Donald Trump intensifies rhetoric around alleged election fraud and labels Democrats as “enemies,” the Proud Boys—central figures in the Capitol attack—are rallying online support for him. While there are no explicit calls for interference, posts from some chapters hint at readiness for action.

Federal authorities face constraints in countering domestic misinformation, adding tension as Trump’s language grows increasingly violent leading up to Election Day.
