Trump Revokes Harris's Secret Service Protection; Newsom Steps In
Former Vice President Kamala Harris lost her Secret Service protection, a security detail provided by the government.
This happened just before her book tour, starting in September.
Former President Donald Trump made this decision.
However, California Governor Gavin Newsom has arranged for the California Highway Patrol and LAPD to protect Harris instead.
This move has political undertones, with some viewing it as a response to Trump's actions.
Harris will receive a level of protection similar to that of the Governor and other state officials.
Trump revoked Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection.
The revocation was effective September 1, 2025.
Harris's book tour is set to begin in late September.
California will provide security with CHP and LAPD.
The move has political undertones with the California Governor involved.
