Newsom Outflanks Trump Again In Battle Over Kamala Harris' Security; POTUS Takes Away Ex-VP's Secret Service Protection

With the looming termination of Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection in the next few hours, the security of the former Vice President of the United States has become the latest battlefront in the political war between Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump.

About to start a 15-date book tour on September 24, one day after her 2024 campaign memoir 107 Days comes out, the ex-VP saw Trump revoke her extended Secret Service protection Thursday.

The usual six months of Secret Service protection a former Vice President receives had been extended to 18 months by Joe Biden in the last days of his presidency. That semi-secret order by POTUS 46 came in no small part I’m told by the threats to which the first woman and first person of color to hold the office had been subjected.

However, the initial curt response may be in part because it appears that persistent Trump troller Newsom, who has taken on the role of Leader of the Opposition in the minds of many against POTUS’ increasingly authoritarian rule, has ordered a security arrangement for Harris, his longtime ally. Nothing has been made public, but reports that the California Highway Patrol will take over protection tomorrow for Harris have been confirmed to Deadline by law enforcement sources.
