<\/p>\nUS President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former vice president and 2024 Democratic rival Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n
A senior adviser to the former vice president confirmed the decision to NBC News, Sky News’ US partner.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the official said: “The vice president is grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety.”<\/p>\n
Typically vice presidents receive a six-month security detail from the Secret Service after they leave office.<\/p>\n
That arrangement had been extended to one year under then-President Joe Biden, or until January 2026, according to reports.<\/p>\n
In 2008, Congress enacted a law allowing the Secret Service to provide protection to former vice presidents, their spouses, and their children under 16 for up to six months after the vice president leaves office.<\/p>\n
However, a Secret Service official told NBC that although this is accurate, President Joe Biden signed an executive memorandum in January extending Harris’ protection period to 18 months.<\/p>\n
