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.
