President Joe Biden directed the Department of Homeland Security to meet former President Donald Trump’s new requests for increased security during the final weeks of the 2024 campaign.
The Washington Post reported Friday morning that Trump’s campaign has been frustrated with the United States Secret Service following the two attempts on the former president’s life and efforts by Iran to kill the former president. The campaign is now actively petitioning acting USSS director Ronald Rowe Jr. to procure military aircraft and vehicles for the remainder of Trump’s campaign travel.
Biden briefly spoke to reporters at the White House on Friday, where he said he had directed the Department of Homeland Security to meet those requests, with one possible exception.
“As long as he doesn’t ask for F-15s. I’ve told the department to give him every single thing he needs,” Biden stated, adding that Trump should be treated as if “he were a sitting president.”
“If it fits into that category, that’s fine,” the president continued.
