An 18-year-old Donald Trump supporter is facing a felony charge after police say he threatened two Kamala Harris supporters with a two-foot (60-centimeter) machete as they campaigned outside a Florida early voting site.

Police Chief Michael Key Jr. said Williams and seven 16- and 17-year-olds drove to a suburban Jacksonville library Tuesday afternoon specifically “to protest and antagonize the opposing political side.” Carrying Trump flags, they began yelling at a group of Harris supporters and that escalated. Williams, a restaurant busboy, was being held without bond Wednesday morning at the Duval County Jail pending his initial appearance in court. His father did not immediately return a message left on his cellphone and no attorney information for Williams was listed in court records. The minimum sentence for aggravated assault on a senior in Florida is three years in prison. The maximum is 15.
“Violence and intimidation have no place in our democratic process. The Duval County Democratic Party stands with those who seek to express their views peacefully and without fear of reprisal. We urge all citizens to continue engaging in civic activities respectfully and lawfully," Henry said in a statement.
