The Secret Service's protection strategy has evolved to address new threats, particularly highlighted by the assassination attempts on former President Trump, necessitating a re-evaluation of resource allocation.
Traditionally, the Secret Service assigns its protective resources based on the significance of the person being protected, with the sitting president receiving the highest level of security.
Former President Trump pushed the boundaries of security afforded to former presidents by maintaining an intense schedule that required unprecedented protective measures not usually extended to his predecessors.
The priority of the Secret Service is to maintain the continuity of government by ensuring the safety of the president and vice president, which influences resource assignment.
