President Joe Biden expressed his confidence in the Secret Service following the recent failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. During a press briefing, Biden stated that he feels safe with the agency and commended their swift response to the incident.
However, Biden raised questions about whether the Secret Service should have anticipated the attack and taken preventive measures. He acknowledged the bravery of the agents who risked their lives to protect the president but emphasized the need to evaluate the agency's preparedness.
Biden also highlighted the crucial role of local law enforcement in ensuring the safety of public figures. He emphasized the complexity of coordinating security measures involving multiple agencies and noted the importance of effective collaboration.
When asked about concerns regarding Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle's public appearances, Biden reassured that he has been in communication with her and has been briefed on the agency's actions.
The president's remarks underscore the ongoing discussions surrounding security protocols for high-profile individuals and the need for continuous evaluation and improvement in protective measures.
