Former American vice president Kamala Harris will no longer receive the protection of the secret service after President Donald Trump moved to abolish the security details that were extended under his predecessor. On Friday the decision was confirmed by a higher White House official.
Why was the protection of Kamaly Harris downloaded?
Under US law, former vice -presidents are entitled to six months of safety protection, as soon as they leave the office, unlike former presidents who have lifelong coverage. Harris’s period formally expired 21 July.
However, the sources that are with this matter say that President Joe Biden quietly allowed to extend and extended Harris’s protection to 18 months. This arrangement would continue until July 2026.
Donald Trump’s Administration has now released the Executive Memorandum to the Ministry of Internal Security, which has extended the extension with effect from Monday.
What does this mean for Harris?
The decision comes when Kamala Harris, a democratic presidential candidate in the last election, is going to start a promotional tour for her upcoming memory of 107 days, is to be published next month.
Downloading the protection of the secret service could have it exposed during public travel, although private security measures are expected to be introduced.
What is the political context?
The announcement will land against the background of increased political polarization in the United States. Trump, Republican, defeated Harrisa last year’s presidential competition after Joe Biden dropped out of the race in the middle of the campaign. This step is also followed by a year in which Trump himself survived two assassination attempts, events that have become a secret service under unprecedented voltage.
Who is Kamal Harris today?
Harris, a former General Prosecutor in California and a district prosecutor in San Francisco, confirmed at the beginning of this month that he does not intend to run for a governor next year. Its attention seems to be on national policy and the release of her memory, which in the coming months is likely to form her political narration.
