President Donald Trump has revoked Kamala Harris’ taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail — a protection she was never entitled to under federal law, but which had been quietly extended by Joe Biden in his final days in office.
A Harris spokesperson admitted to Fox News that the protection was officially removed:
A spokesperson for Kamala Harris confirmed to Fox News on Friday that the former vice president’s Secret Service protection has been revoked by President Donald Trump.
Federal law grants former vice presidents just six months of coverage. Harris’ protection expired July 21. But as the Washington Examiner’s Byron York revealed, Biden secretly extended it:
Trump made the decision clear in a memorandum obtained by CNN:
“You are hereby authorized to discontinue any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum, beyond those required by law, for the following individual, effective September 1, 2025: Former Vice President Kamala D. Harris,” the letter reads in full.
Biden’s move had never been disclosed to the public until now. As CNN reported:
“Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for life. Harris, as a former vice president, received six months of protection after leaving office, according to federal law. That period ended on July 21. However, her protection had been extended for an additional year via a directive – not made public until now – signed by then-President Joe Biden shortly before leaving office, according to multiple people familiar with the undisclosed arrangement.”
The timing is critical. Harris is set to begin her book tour later this month for her memoir 107 Days, with appearances scheduled in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Without a federal detail, she will rely on expensive private security.
Democrats wasted no time blasting Trump’s decision. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s spokesperson fumed to CNN:
“The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”
And Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass claimed Trump’s decision was “revenge”:
“This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more. This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the Governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles.”
But the law is not on Harris’s side. As Fox News explained:
“A senior White House official told Fox News Digital that vice presidents usually have a Secret Service detail for only six months after departing office.”
In other words: Joe Biden bent the rules in secret. Donald Trump enforced the law. Harris, once vice president and briefly her party’s failed nominee, is no longer entitled to the trappings of power.
