President Donald Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a senior White House official on Friday (August 29, 2025).
Former Vice Presidents typically get Federal Government protection for six months after leaving office, while ex-Presidents do so for life. But another person familiar with the matter says then-President Joe Biden quietly signed a directive that had extended protection for Ms. Harris beyond the traditional six months.
The people insisted on anonymity Friday to discuss a matter not made public.
Mr. Trump is a Republican, and Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are Democrats. Mr. Trump defeated Ms. Harris in the Presidential election last year after Mr. Biden dropped out of the contest and Harris replaced him.
