Biden Campaign Requests Secret Service Protection

Joe Biden's presidential campaign has requested protection from the Secret Service.

This news is being passed out by a congressional official familiar with the discussions.

For a candidate to get protection from the Secret Service, he or she has to first ask.

The Department of Homeland Security will then conduct a threat assessment.

That will be reviewed by the top leaders in Congress like Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi.
