Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is currently under the protection of the Minnesota State Police as he travels to Philadelphia to participate in a joint rally with Vice President Kamala Harris. Upon his arrival in Philadelphia, the US Secret Service will officially take over his security detail, according to a source familiar with the process.
It is standard procedure for new Secret Service protectees to undergo a thorough onboarding process, and Governor Walz will be no exception. Following the rally, Governor Walz will be accompanied by a full Secret Service detail for the duration of his visit in Philadelphia.
In addition to Governor Walz, his wife, Gwen Walz, will also receive Secret Service protection during the event. This level of security is common for high-profile individuals attending public events, especially those involving high-ranking government officials.
The collaboration between Governor Walz and Vice President Harris underscores the importance of their joint efforts and the significance of the issues they are addressing. The presence of both state and federal law enforcement agencies highlights the commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all individuals involved in the rally.
As Governor Walz and Vice President Harris prepare to address the public in Philadelphia, the combined efforts of the Minnesota State Police and the US Secret Service will work together to ensure a safe and successful event for all attendees.
