Kamala Harris, who served as Vice President during Joe Biden’s presidency, would have seen her protection end on July 21, 2025. However, it had been extended by an additional year through an order signed by President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office. CNN reported that it obtained a copy of Trump’s letter canceling Harris’ protection. The two had previously run against each other in the presidential election, which Trump won, returning to the White House as the 47th President of the United States. Harris’ senior adviser, Kirsten Allen, told CNN that the former Vice President deeply appreciates the Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment during the period they worked with her.
