Robert F. Kennedy, an Independent presidential candidate, will be receiving protection from the U.S. Secret Service, as announced by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday. This decision comes in the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Trump over the weekend.
Mayorkas stated that President Trump had directed him to collaborate with the Secret Service to ensure the safety and security of Robert Kennedy Jr. in light of recent events. The move to provide protection to Kennedy was prompted by increasing calls, including from Trump himself, for such measures to be taken.
