 Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said President Biden directed him to work with the Secret Service to provide Kennedy protection. Biden's order came two days after an assassination attempt on former President Trump. In a post on X, Kennedy thanks Biden for granting him Secret Service protection. The candidate has been asking for Secret Service protection for months, given that Kennedy's father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Uncle President John F. Kennedy were both assassinated.
