In an interview with the Dallas-based radio show DeDe in the Morning, Biden described the current climate as 'frightening' and highlighted the heightened security measures that have become necessary.

Biden recalled his time as vice president when he could freely interact with children waving in front of schoolyards but noted that such interactions are now more constrained due to security concerns. He stressed the importance of providing additional support to the Secret Service to enhance protection and expand their capabilities.
