Overview

• The White House and Harris’s office confirmed the revocation, with coverage set to cease on September 1.
• U.S. law grants former vice presidents six months of protection, which for Harris ended July 21, but Biden had quietly extended it by one year.
• Harris’s team publicly thanked the Secret Service for its professionalism following the notification.
• Critics including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warned that ending coverage removes continuous threat assessment as well as physical security.
• The decision follows earlier removals under Trump for figures such as John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Hunter and Ashley Biden, with CNN reporting an instruction to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to halt protections beyond the statutory baseline.
