Former president will be joined by family of Corey Comperatore, rallygoer who was killed when gunman fired at Trump
As the Trump and Harris campaigns ramp up into high gear for a final month of campaigning before election day – including at high-profile rallies such as today’s in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Secret Service is at “a breaking point”, NBC News reports. A dozen current and former Secret Service agents told NBC News that insufficient staffing and an increased workload have contributed to errors, such as those in Butler when a gunman opened fire at Trump on 13 July.
“There is a huge security risk because you already have agents that are burnt out, exhausted now having even less time to make a solid security plan and get all assets in order,” a current agent told NBC. “I love my agency but they are setting themselves up for another incident,” said one former agent. Both current and former officials told NBC they are concerned the agency will witness a mass exodus of personnel over the next 18 months.
