It is clear that changes in tactics are on the way RF on the political situation in the United States over the remaining several months. Russians have focused on the Harris-Walls campaign to stop spreading disinformation videos.
You can recognize two groupings of trolls – Storm-1516 and the new Storm-1679. They created and broadcast two videos about Harris, which received millions of views.
The first video shows that some of Harris' cronies are attacking a participant in a rally in support of Donald Trump. In another video, an actor similar to Harris, during the fictitious incident of a road accident, ran away from the scene of the accident.
The videos appear on the Internet under the name of the local ZMI San Francisco, as it was created just a few days before publication of fake videos.

One of them shows a billboard in New York with untrue statements by the Vice President of the United States. The video has received over 100 thousand views on Telegram in just a few years.
