The legal battle regarding a 2020 incident that pitted "Trump Train" supporters against a campaign bus belonging to then-candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is finally playing out in court. 

According to Fox News, Trump's supporters, who conveyed in trucks and cars on a Texas interstate, are being sued by passengers in the Biden-Harris campaign bus for political intimidation in a federal civil case.

Plaintiffs in the case argued that the Trump supporters in the "train" of vehicles colluded to harass and intimidate the Biden-Harris campaign bus, just days before the 2020 election.

The plaintiffs filed the lawsuit in June of 2021.

What's going on?

While attorneys for the defendants argued that they were simply supporting their presidential candidate "in a very loud way," plaintiffs argued that the intimidation was so severe that they were forced to cancel campaign events in Texas.

Serious allegations were made against the defendants, including one that alleged the "Trump Train" drivers tried to force the Biden-Harris campaign bus off of the interstate.

Fox News noted:

The plaintiffs in the case – including former Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis – say the group attempted to run the bus off the road along Interstate 35 and in one incident captured on video, a "Trump Train" pickup truck and a Biden campaign SUV collided while trailing the bus, although nobody was hurt.

"It was a day that was very different from anything I experienced campaigning," Davis said during a recent testimony. "It honestly felt like being taken hostage in a way."

An attorney for the plaintiffs, Samuel Hall, claimed that the Trump supporters chased the Biden-Harris bus and surrounded them at one point.

"They were literally driven out of town," Hall said. "It wasn’t peaceful patriotism. It doesn’t have a place in Texas. It doesn’t have a place in America. And it has consequences."

Defendants respond

An attorney for the defendants argued that the group was merely supporting Trump in "a very loud way."

"It was a rah-rah group that sought to support and advocate for a candidate of their choice in a very loud way," said attorney Francisco Canseco.

"It’s more of a constitutional issue," Canseco added. "It’s more of who has the greater right to speak behind their candidate."
