Former President Trump has called for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to receive Secret Service protection following recent events. Trump emphasized the importance of providing security to Kennedy, citing the history of the Kennedy family as a compelling reason for immediate protection.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign accumulated $1.4 million in debt to a private security firm earlier this year. Despite multiple requests, the Biden administration has declined to grant Kennedy Secret Service protection.
Kennedy has criticized the Biden administration for rejecting his requests for protection while on the 2024 campaign trail. The Kennedy family has a tragic history of political assassinations, with both Robert F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy being assassinated in the 1960s.
Following an assassination attempt on Trump, Kennedy commended the Secret Service agents who responded to the incident. Despite the denial of protection, Kennedy refrained from further criticizing the Biden administration.
