Following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, bipartisan lawmakers, including Reps. Mike Lawler and Ritchie Torres, plan to introduce legislation to enhance Secret Service protection for major presidential candidates like Trump, President Biden, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The lawmakers emphasized the critical need for increased security in light of the recent attack, calling it a significant moment in U.S. history. Concerns have been raised about the security failure that allowed the shooter to be positioned close to Trump, prompting calls for improved Secret Service measures. Investigations are underway to examine claims that previous requests for heightened security for Trump were denied, though the Secret Service denies these allegations, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny and efforts to bolster candidate protection.
