Vance has not requested more Secret Service protection: 'We have what we need'

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) revealed Tuesday that he has not asked for extra security from the Secret Service, adding that he is “proud” of the agents who are protecting him.

Vance, Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate, made the comment in response to a question about whether the former president has made efforts to increase his security after a second assassination attempt against him on Sunday. Some, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), have contended Trump’s security has a problem with “manpower allocation” rather than proper funding.
