Secret Service plans to ramp up protection of Biden in anticipation of his possible win
WASHINGTON - The Secret Service is sending reinforcements to Wilmington, Del., starting Friday to help protect former vice president Joe Biden as his campaign prepares for the possibility he may soon claim victory in his bid for the White House, according to two people familiar with the plans.
The Secret Service summoned a squad of agents to add to the protective bubble around Biden after his campaign told the agency that the Democratic nominee would continue utilizing a Wilmington convention center at least another day and could make a major speech as early as Friday, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the security protocols.

The agency typically ramps up protection for a president-elect immediately after that person has been declared the winner by assigning a new raft of agents to the incoming president. Historically, that increase in protection has happened late into election night after one candidate has conceded and the other has given a victory speech.
But this year's race has been marked by a drawn-out vote count and a flurry of unsubstantiated attacks by President Donald Trump on the integrity of the election.

tldr: Biden will not get the major protection until they call the election and he is "President-Elect"
