Donald Trump’s latest act of retribution is an unbelievably petty one

President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris. The decision, which was outlined in a directive to the Department of Homeland Security, ends an extension of her security detail that then-President Joe Biden had granted before he left office.

Under federal law, former vice presidents are usually entitled to six months of Secret Service protection after they leave office. For Harris, that period ended in July. However, before his departure, Biden signed a memorandum that extended her protection for an additional year. Trump’s directive, dated Thursday, cancels that extension, and it will be effective on September 1, 2025.
