A major Democrat, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, has demanded that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. be provided Secret Service protection in the wake of the suspected assassination attempt on former President Trump. Polis took to social media shortly after the shooting at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, urging President Biden to reverse the administration's decision to deny Kennedy Secret Service protection.
Despite accumulating $1.4 million in debt to a private security firm, Kennedy's requests for Secret Service protection have been consistently turned down by the Biden administration. Kennedy has criticized Biden for rejecting multiple protection requests dating back to last year, even in the face of documented death threats against him.
