For six months
Normally, outgoing vice-presidents enjoy Secret Service protection for six months after the end of their term of office.
Political tensions
In view of the country's unprecedented political tensions, Joe Biden had extended Kamala Harris' detail for another year, which would have kept her protected until July 2026.
The promotional tour
Trump's decision will have a huge impact on the life of Kamala Harris, who is about to embark on her book tour.
Private security
The end of her 24/7 federal protection could force Kamala Harris to hire private security for her tour, which begins on September 24 in New York and ends on November 20 in Miami, Florida.
