By law, former vice-presidents and their immediate families receive Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office. That term can be extended, and reports suggest former President Joe Biden granted Harris an extension before leaving the White House.

The decision comes amid a highly charged political climate, and debates are likely to continue over whether security for former top officials should remain a matter of law, discretion, or politics.
