In the recent published article by The Messenger Politics, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has previously kicked off at the Biden Administration for not approving a Secret Service detail for him, but Secret Service protection is typically only provided to presidential candidates after they have been designated as the party’s nominee, unless they have previously served as president or vice president.
The Secret Service website states that “major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election” are provided with protection details.
Following the assassination of Kennedy’s father, Robert F. Kennedy, in 1968, Secret Service protection details for presidential candidates were established.
