The Senate unanimously approved a bill requiring the same level of Secret Service protection for presidents and major party candidates. The bill passed the House last week after President Trump faced a second assassination attempt.
Senator Rick Scott introduced the bill, citing Trump’s recent experiences as a reason for its necessity. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, supported the bill but expressed doubts about its impact.
Murphy believes the upcoming supplemental funding for the Secret Service is a more effective way to enhance Trump’s security. He suggests addressing the broader issue of political violence through bipartisan dialogue.
