In the aftermath of the shooting, the White House has requested $58 million from Congress to bolster security for government officials, including members of Congress and judges. Law enforcement presence has been increased in key areas of the capital, and security measures at venues, including sporting events, have been tightened to protect Trump and other officials. Conversations about enhancing security protocols are gaining urgency as fears about safety escalate among politicians in the wake of this tragedy.
