Following two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump, there is a growing bipartisan call for increased funding and resources for the Secret Service to enhance protective operations. Senators including Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham, as well as House Speaker Mike Johnson, have expressed support for boosting the Secret Service's budget. However, there is debate among lawmakers about whether additional funding or better resource allocation is the solution. Charlie Kirk controversially suggested reallocating Secret Service agents from former President Jimmy Carter to Trump, though this idea has faced significant criticism. The Biden administration has also submitted a request for additional funding to ensure adequate protection during the election period. Congress faces an urgent deadline of October 1 to avoid a government shutdown, with the Secret Service funding being a significant point of discussion.
