In light of recent assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump, Congress is engaged in urgent discussions regarding the funding and overhaul of the Secret Service. The heightened threat environment, as described by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, has led lawmakers to express increased concern over the safety of presidential candidates. Following a second assassination scare, many officials are advocating for more resources to be allocated to the Secret Service. Some lawmakers, including Republicans, have questioned the need for increased funding, while others, like Chuck Schumer, noted a willingness to boost support if necessary. The agency currently protects around 40 individuals and is facing scrutiny over its ability to ensure safety in a complex and dangerous environment. Despite calls for enhanced security measures, experts warn that protecting Trump poses unique challenges that may not be resolved with merely increasing manpower.
