The Independent reported that the US midterm elections have entered the countdown phase.trump President in Floridamansion “Mar-a-Lago” and nearby Florida International Airport have deployed several “Avenger” anti-aircraft missile systems. The US Secret Service confirmed it is to strengthen presidential security measures due to increasing environmental threats. Photos emerged of the scene, showing two sets of air defense systems installed on barges near Mar-a-Lago, as well as US military personnel wearing camouflage uniforms.

Mar-a-Lago is Trump’s large resort in Palm Beach and his main residence. Trump often spends weekends here and only held a Mar-a-Lago event on October 31.Halloween Team.

An Avenger air defense system has also been deployed on the south side of nearby Palm Beach Airport, according to a report by the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The airport was renamed “Donald Trump International Airport” earlier this year. The Avenger air defense system is primarily designed to intercept air threats.

A spokesperson for the US Secret Service confirmed that it is currently in an “elevated threat environment” and therefore continues to adjust security measures and use advanced tools, technologies and methods to protect security targets. At the request of the Secret Service, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command have provided anti-drone defense capabilities to support related security operations, the spokesperson said. North American Aerospace Defense Command also confirmed to Florida television station WPBF that it has deployed air defense systems in and around Mar-a-Lago.

While Trump was in Florida last week, a civilian plane entered restricted airspace over Mar-a-Lago and was quickly intercepted by US military fighter planes. North American Aerospace Defense Command said the fighters performed standard intercept maneuvers and diverted the pilots’ attention. Civilian aircraft established communication with the military and followed instructions to safely leave the restricted airspace.

In fact, the airspace around Mar-a-Lago has been repeatedly invaded by aircraft. According to US TV station WPTV, the North American Aerospace Defense Command has intercepted more than 60 aircraft violating flight restrictions around Palm Beach since January 2025. A spokesperson for the command acknowledged earlier in October that the number was “significantly larger.”

80-year-old Trump has faced assassination threats several times in the past. In 2024, a gunman hid in the bushes around Trump’s Florida golf club and was suspected of trying to assassinate Trump. In February of this year, a 21-year-old man armed with a gun walked through the gates of Mar-a-Lago and was shot.

After Trump’s midterm election campaign in Daytona Beach, Florida on the evening of October 30, he stayed at Mar-a-Lago on the 31st and is expected to go to Kansas and Iowa to hold campaign events on November 1. The White House originally canceled the trip to these two states, but changed its decision after reporters asked whether it was related to Trump’s health.

With the midterm elections imminent, several polls suggest that the Republican Party may suffer a major setback in the election due to voter dissatisfaction with the high cost of living and the ongoing war with Iran, and may even lose its majority seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
