At his rally in Minnesota tonight, President Trump addressed recent criticisms regarding the Secret Service’s performance. He acknowledged that there were mistakes made by the agents but emphasized that those who rushed to protect him were courageous and prepared to sacrifice their lives for his safety. Trump specifically highlighted a female Secret Service agent who had been criticized for not being tall enough to shield him. He praised her willingness to take a bullet for him, stating that people should not attack the agents who played a crucial role in his protection.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic presumptive nominee, is reportedly preparing to revamp the national security team if she wins the presidency, which could result in the removal of key Biden administration appointees. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin may be excluded from the cabinet, according to current and former officials speaking with the Wall Street Journal.
This development comes amid Blinken’s endorsement of Harris, praising her as a “leading voice for American foreign policy” within the Biden administration.
Harris’ national security adviser, Philip Gordon, is expected to play a significant role in her potential administration. Gordon previously served as a top State Department official for Europe under President Barack Obama and as a senior White House official focusing on Middle East issues.
As President Biden recovers from a Covid infection, Harris has taken on presidential responsibilities, including preparing for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington D.C. While she will meet with Netanyahu at the White House, she will miss his address to Congress on Wednesday.
