LOS ANGELES - U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday sought Secret Service protection for Democratic presidential candidates after Joe Biden’s wife and a senior staffer shielded the former vice president from protesters during a victory speech on Super Tuesday.
The activists opposed the dairy industry, and protesters with the same agenda have disrupted events with Biden’s presidential rival Senator Bernie Sanders. No Democratic candidate has begun the multi-step process to obtain Secret Service protection, DHS spokeswoman Heather Swift said in a statement. The Secret Service provides security for the president and his family, including lifetime support for former occupants of the Oval Office. Major presidential candidates are also provided with protection on a case-by-case basis.
