On September 24 local time, the US Senate unanimously passed the "Enhanced Presidential Security Act", which aims to strengthen the security of the US Secret Service for major presidential candidates. After the US Republican presidential candidate Trump suffered two "attempted assassinations" this year, the US House of Representatives unanimously passed the bill on September 20 and sent it to the Senate for consideration. The bill will strengthen the protection of the US Secret Service for presidential candidates to the same level as the current president. In addition, the bill also extends the scope of presidential-level protection to vice presidential candidates and requires the Secret Service to regularly report candidate protection to House and Senate leaders.
