"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate.

Surrounding the 2020 election was a whirlwind of extremist activity which was cause for deep concern by ADL at the time. We saw the rhetoric and threats building, and of course, this all led to the terrifying insurrection on January 6th 2021. Here we are - nearly four years later - with the same Republican candidate and the current Vice President vying for the presidency. Does this mean that we will face the same election related extremism? Will it be worse? Better?

To answer these important and timely questions, Alex Friedfeld joined this podcast. He is the Associate Director for Investigative Research at ADL’s Center on Extremism. He tracks these issues closely and is a wealth of knowledge about election-related extremism.
