The U.S. Senate passes a bill to enhance security for presidential candidates

ChainCatcher News, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the "Strengthening Presidential Security Act," aimed at enhancing the Secret Service's protection of major presidential candidates. After U.S. Republican presidential candidate Trump faced two "assassination attempts" this year, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the bill on September 20 and submitted it for Senate review. The bill will strengthen the Secret Service's protection of presidential candidates to the same level as the current president. Additionally, the bill expands presidential-level protection to vice presidential candidates and requires the Secret Service to regularly report to the leaders of the House and Senate on the status of candidate protection.
