The House of Representatives on Friday unanimously passed a bill that will enhance Secret Service protection for presidential candidates after two assassination attempts against Trump.
It only took two assassination attempts against Trump to enhance his security.
“Regardless of how every American feels, regardless of how every American intends to vote, it is the right of the American people to determine the outcome of this election. The idea that our election could be decided by an assassin’s bullet should shake the conscience of our nation, and it requires swift action by the federal government,” Rep. Mike Lawler, co-sponsor of the bill said.
“It is shocking that it took a second assassination attempt for Donald Trump to get the same level of protective detail from the Secret Service as the president of the United States,” he said.
The two recent attempts on former President Trump’s life showed the world that the Secret Service has serious gaps in protection. @RepRitchie and I introduced the Enhanced Presidential Security Act to tackle this problem and protect presidential candidates. pic.twitter.com/Wj4O6a24qk
