The Secret Service is protecting 40 people during this election season
The Secret Service’s protective responsibility has grown this campaign season, and now more than 40 people have security details, an agency official said last night.
The people being protected include the president, the vice president and their families; former presidents and first ladies; running mates and their families; and other people deemed to qualify based on threat levels, the official said.
Since July 13, the day a man with a rifle tried to assassinate Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, revised assessments have been made for all those under protection, the official said.
