Biden says Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after second Trump assassination attempt

By and 09/16/2024 | updated 1 year ago

President Joe Biden said that the Secret Service needs more assistance after a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in two months.

“One thing I want to make clear is: The service needs more help. And I think Congress should respond to their need,” he told reporters Monday morning.

“Thank God the president is OK,” Biden added.

He also said that the Secret Service would get the final say on deciding “whether they need more personnel or not.”
