The president of the United States has canceled the police protection of the former Vice President, according to a letter that has leaked this Friday to US media. “By this means, I authorize that no previously authorized security procedure continues,” reads the Memorandum sent by the White House to the Secretary of Internal Security ,. The document, dated this Thursday, orders the withdrawal of the agents of the Secret Service that guarded the former democratic presidential candidate, Trump’s rival in the presidential elections last year, starting next September 1.
At the end of their mandate, vice presidents usually have an escort during the six months after leaving office. However, the Democrat, predecessor of Trump, had extended the duration of the protection device until January 2026, according to sources cited by Reuters. “The vice president is grateful to the United States Secret Service for her professionalism, dedication and permanent commitment to her safety,” said Kirsten Allen, a Harris advisor, in response to the measure.
Harris is about to start a tour next September by 15 cities in the North American country to promote his new book, 107 daysin which he recounts his memoirs as a presidential candidate. The former Vice President declared at the end of July that she was not going to seek the Democratic candidacy in the state elections of California in 2026, although she has not ruled out again to run again as a presidential candidate in 2028.
Trump had already canceled the protection services to other political adversaries, such as the National Security Exassor John Bolton. Last March, the Republican ordered that the escort that guarded Ay Ashley Biden, children of the former Democratic president, be removed.
