Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden has officially requested Secret Service protection.
A congressional aide told CNN on Thursday that Biden’s campaign has “submitted a formal request for USSS protection.”
For a candidate to receive protection from the Secret Service, Homeland Security must conduct a threat assessment that will be reviewed by top leaders in Congress: Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy.
Biden’s campaign declined to comment.
