Biden administration denies Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Secret Service protection request

The Biden administration has refused to grant Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Secret Service protection for his independent presidential campaign 3 times, citing an advisory committee's recommendation to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Despite credible threats and polling numbers, the committee's decision reflects political motivations. Kennedy's campaign has been marked by security concerns, including death threats and incidents of attempted breaches of his personal safety, prompting him to spend $2 million on private security.
