With the 2020 presidential race still too close to call and activists marching in cities across the U.S., Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has activated the state's National Guard in an effort to help local authorities with "widespread violence" that erupted in Portland, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
Portland authorities declared a riot around 10 p.m. EST, according to the sheriff's office. At least eight people had been arrested a half-hour later. A ninth arrest was announced later, and with the riot still active, more were possible.
Protesters around the country had warned of additional demonstrations if President Trump loses the election but fails to concede to Joe Biden or challenges the results.
Videos shared to social media of demonstrations in New York City showed police and activists in heated confrontations. The NYPD announced about 50 arrests related to the protests.
