A “number” of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s siblings asked President Joe Biden to authorize Secret Service protection for the independent presidential candidate recently, Mr. Kennedy said on April 25.

Saying he does not qualify for Secret Service protection, the Department of Homeland Security has denied Mr. Kennedy’s requests five times—the most recent being in late March.
