FBI Arrests Leftist Senate Hopeful for Alleged Death Threats Against Trump, Congress Member and Daughter

Federal authorities say Raymond Eugene Chandler III left graphic voicemails urging Trump’s assassination and threatening a congressman’s family.

  • Federal authorities arrested Pennsylvania Senate candidate Raymond Eugene Chandler III last week for allegedly making graphic death threats against President Donald Trump and a member of Congress.
  • According to an FBI affidavit, Chandler left multiple voicemails between April 2025 and January 2026 urging a lawmaker to "personally kill" Trump and threatening violence against the congressman's family.
  • The candidate's campaign platform included proposals to "Tax the Billionaires," abolish ICE, and implement universal basic income, reflecting what authorities described as far-left political views.
  • Enforcement actions by the Secret Service and FBI occur amid heightened security concerns, including an armed attempt by Cole Allen to enter the White House Correspondents Dinner and the May 1 arrest of U.S. Army veteran Daniel Swain.
  • Chandler faces federal charges for violating laws related to influencing or retaliating against a federal official by threat, as the Secret Service and FBI continue targeting threats against federal officials.
