It has come to light that the Biden administration has again refused to provide presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with Secret Service protection, despite evidence of threats made against him during the campaign.
A prominent figure in the race for the White House, Kennedy Jr. has been repeatedly denied protection by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden administration, and the politicization of federal agencies.
Kennedy Jr., who is campaigning as an independent presidential candidate, expressed his concern about the lack of protection and the potential impact on his campaign.
In a recent post on X, he wrote, “They want me out of this race by any means necessary and are refusing me Secret Service protection in a calculated effort to drain my campaign funds, exclude me from the ballot, and stop the movement that we’ve been building.”

The decision to deny Secret Service protection to Kennedy Jr. raises questions about the Biden administration’s commitment to the safety and security of all presidential candidates, regardless of their political affiliation. The Secret Service has a long history of providing protection to presidential candidates, and this precedent has been in place since the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the candidate’s father, in 1968.
The refusal of Secret Service protection to Kennedy Jr. comes at a time when the presidential campaign is heating up, with candidates vying for the support of the American people. The lack of protection could potentially put Kennedy Jr. and his campaign at risk, as well as undermine the democratic process and the will of the people.
Critics of the Biden administration’s decision argue that it is a clear example of corruption and cronyism, with political motivations at play. The politicization of federal agencies has been a growing concern among conservatives, who argue that such actions undermine the integrity of the institutions that are meant to serve the American people.
As the presidential campaign continues, the issue of Secret Service protection for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. remains a contentious one. It remains to be seen whether the Biden administration will reconsider its decision and provide the necessary protection to ensure the safety and security of all presidential candidates.
