President Joe Biden expressed concern over the recent apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, emphasizing the need for more resources to be allocated to the US Secret Service. In an interview with the Dallas-based radio show DeDe in the Morning, Biden described the current climate as 'frightening' and highlighted the heightened security measures that have become necessary.
Biden recalled his time as vice president when he could freely interact with children waving in front of schoolyards but noted that such interactions are now more constrained due to security concerns. He stressed the importance of providing additional support to the Secret Service to enhance protection and expand their capabilities.
During the interview, Biden mentioned that he had a brief conversation with Trump, where he updated him on ongoing efforts and initiatives. Trump reportedly expressed gratitude for the call and appreciated Biden's actions.
Biden also praised Vice President Kamala Harris, describing her as 'smart as hell' and highlighting their close collaboration on various initiatives, including cybersecurity measures. He emphasized the effective partnership between himself and Harris in addressing key issues facing the country.
The call for increased resources for the Secret Service comes in the wake of growing security concerns and the need to bolster protection for current and former government officials. Biden's remarks underscore the importance of prioritizing security measures to ensure the safety of individuals in public office.
