4. I wondered about Secret service protection

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service#Protective_Mission
Protective Mission
Ensures the safety of the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, the President's and Vice President's immediate families, former presidents, their spouses, and their minor children under the age of 16, major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses

Isn't Senator Harris a major candidate?

[George II]

6. They're not presidential candidates yet. I think they have to be nominees first.

[tishaLA]

7. They sometimes make exceptions

Obama had protection fairly early because of all the death threats, for example.

13. Since Bobby Kennedy's assassination, primary candidates get protection if they meet certain criteria

Under ,


Secret Service is authorized to provide protection to major presidential and vice presidential candidates at the direction of the DHS Secretary, after consultation with the the Congressional Advisory Committee, which includes the Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, and one additional member selected by the others

Candidates must:

1. Be publicly announced
2. Have some degree of prominence as shown by opinion polls
3. Be actively campaigning and entered in at least 10 state primaries
4. Be seeking the nomination of a qualified party
5. Have qualified for matching funds in the amount of at least $100,000
6. Have received contributions totaling $10 million

18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7)

Protection is usually not provided for candidates until 120 before the election, however, some candidates are given protection earlier if circumstances warrant. For example, given the unprecedented number of threats, Barack Obama received protection almost from the time he entered the race.

9. i would say yes,

but guess how trump and his "people" would respond? probably laugh in her face.

5. Why did security take so long to get up there and stop him? That could have been dangerous....

....luckily all he wanted to do was talk.

[StarfishSaver]

14. They were slow, weren't they?

Karine was looking around like, "Hello? Guys, can we get some help up here?"

[barbtries]

8. that was kind of wild.

security? how did it happen? thankfully he appeared to be harmless but he took that mic right out of her hand.

[DURHAM D]

10. He is wearing a Press badge.

Is it real or fake?

That guy looks familiar.
