Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Denied Secret Service Protection By President Biden

Joe Biden looks focused.

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been vocal about his ongoing battle with President Biden regarding Secret Service protection. Despite multiple requests, Kennedy has not been granted Secret Service security, even though the agency has assessed him as being at an elevated risk.

Kennedy shared concerning incidents, such as a man with loaded weapons and fake federal ID showing up at one of his rallies, highlighting the need for security measures. He has made six applications to the White House for Secret Service protection, all of which have been denied by President Biden.

While Kennedy refrained from speculating on Biden's motives, he suggested that the decision might be influenced by a desire to have him fund his own security rather than allocate resources to other campaign needs like advertising and organization.

Despite the risks he faces, Kennedy emphasized the importance of presidential debates for democracy, advocating for all eligible candidates, including himself, to participate.

When asked about the suggestion for President Biden to take a drug test before the debate, Kennedy chose not to comment on the matter, focusing instead on the necessity of candidates engaging in debates to address important issues and connect with the electorate.
