House Democrats requested Secret Service protection Wednesday for presidential candidates amid security concerns after a group of protesters stormed the stage at a Joe Biden campaign event on Tuesday.
“I urge you to immediately initiate the consultation process to determine whether to provide USSS protection to certain major Democratic presidential candidates,” Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, wrote in a letter Wednesday that specifically mentions Biden and Bernie Sanders.
The letter is addressed to Acting Department Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and members of a special congressional “Candidate Protection Advisory Committee” made up of the top Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate.
That committee must recommend protection be offered before DHS can act. Department spokeswoman Heather Swift said the agency “has not received a recommendation from Congress concerning any candidate.”
