Kamala Harris faced death threats while in office and on the campaign trail last year. Vice presidents typically receive six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office. Harris' Secret Service protections were extended past the six-month mark, moving beyond the default expiration around July 21. A presidential directive signed before the end of the administration authorized the extension. A subsequent letter authorized discontinuing any security-related procedures previously authorized by Executive Memorandum beyond those required by law, effective September 1, 2025 for former Vice President Kamala D. Harris. Millions in Harris campaign expenses remain unresolved with the Democratic National Committee.
