The US Secret Service has increased its protective bubble
around Joe Biden as chances increased that he will be the next US president,
the Washington Post reported Friday.
The Secret Service sent an extra squad of agents to Biden’s
campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware as expectations rose that the
Democratic candidate would be able to declare victory over President Donald
Trump as early as Friday, the Post reported.
The Secret Service, an agency under the Department of
Homeland Security, is in charge or protecting the White House and senior
government officials, visiting high officials, and others.
It had already deployed some agents to protect Biden around
early July after he triumphed in the Democratic Party’s presidential primaries.
As a former vice president, Biden could have requested
Secret Service protection before then, but reportedly did not.
If Biden becomes president-elect, Secret Service protection
is expected to ramp up to a higher level.
