• The extension signed by Biden was not previously public, according to reporting reviewed by CNN and confirmed by NBC.
• The step comes as Harris plans a late‑September national tour for her memoir, with aides warning the loss includes threat monitoring and protection of her Los Angeles home that could cost millions to replicate privately.
• California officials were briefed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the move as politically motivated while discussing local mitigation.
• Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, lost his detail on July 21 under standard provisions, and Trump has also ended discretionary protection for figures including Hunter and Ashley Biden and John Bolton.
