Sen. Rick Scott and other GOP senators are moving to increase Secret Service protections for presidential nominees in the wake of two former President Donald Trump assassination attempts.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., led several Republicans in a bid to increase U.S. Secret Service protections for presidential nominees in the wake of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. 'Over the course of just 65 days, two deranged individuals have tried to kill President Donald Trump, and one was able to shoot him in the head,' Scott wrote of his introduction of the Protect Our Presidents Act.
The measure would require that the Secret Service give nominees for president a level of protection on par with the current president. However, a nominee is free to decline this. It would additionally extend that presidential-level protection to vice presidential nominees, in this case to Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn.
