A group of GOP senators introduced a bill on Sept. 19 that would elevate the U.S. Secret Service’s protection of presidential nominees, days after a second apparent assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump.

The bill, called the “Protect Our Presidents Act,” would mandate that the Secret Service “provide presidential nominees the same level of protection provided to the president, as well as any necessary protective measures.”
