Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her full confidence in the Secret Service following the recent apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. During a panel discussion organized by the National Association of Black Journalists, Harris was asked about her feelings of safety with her Secret Service protection, to which she responded affirmatively.
She acknowledged the importance of security measures, highlighting the threats faced by individuals in places like Springfield, Ohio, which has been targeted due to false rumors spread by Republicans about immigrants. Harris emphasized that not everyone in the country has the privilege of Secret Service protection, underscoring the widespread sense of insecurity among many Americans.
Despite having Secret Service protection herself, Harris emphasized the need to prioritize the safety of all individuals in the nation. She reiterated her commitment to uplifting people and fostering a sense of security for everyone, rather than instigating fear or division.
Furthermore, Harris disclosed that she had a conversation with former President Trump, conveying a clear message that political violence has no place in the United States. Her stance against violence and her dedication to promoting safety and unity reflect her unwavering commitment to fostering a secure and inclusive society for all Americans.
