Event Summary

Donald Trump, the current President of the United States, has revoked the Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, effective September 1, 2025. This decision reverses a directive by former President Joe Biden, who had extended Kamala Harris' protection beyond the standard six months for former vice presidents. The revocation comes as Kamala Harris is set to embark on a high-profile book tour for her memoir '107 Days'. Critics, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, have condemned Donald Trump's move as an act of political retaliation, raising concerns about Kamala Harris' safety. Donald Trump has previously ended security protection for other political adversaries, such as John Bolton and Joe Biden's children, Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden.
