The US Department of Defense will provide “defense support” to US presidential candidates ahead of the November elections.

Writes UNN with reference to Voice of America.

The Ministry of Defense will support the U.S. Secret Service in protecting presidential and vice presidential candidates ahead of the November 5 election.

The measure comes as the Secret Service has been under scrutiny for security failures that led to an attack on a Republican presidential candidate during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13.

The Ministry of Defense will provide “protection support” to candidates until the November elections and likely until the presidential inauguration in January 2025

Recall

Donald Trump held his first open-air rally after the assassination attempt, speaking behind bulletproof glass. He criticized Biden and the Democrats, blaming them for the US's problems.
