On September 21st, the U.S. Secret Service Director stated that a "paradigm shift" was needed following the July 13th incident involving a gun being fired near former President Trump. The Secret Service did not provide clear guidance or instructions to local law enforcement at the time. Complacency among some personnel led to breaches of security protocols.

The second assassination attempt against Trump, which occurred in Florida, highlights the escalating threat environment. The Secret Service requires additional personnel, technology assets, and equipment to address both short-term and long-term needs. (GoldTen)
