The House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill Friday, September 20, to increase the US Secret Service protections for major presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Introduced by Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY), the bill was inspired by the first attempt on Donald Trump’s life, when a young gunman grazed the former president’s ear during a rally in Butler, PA, on July 13. The 405 to 0 vote today represents a rare sense of bipartisanship and urgency in Congress.

If passed by the Senate and signed into law, this bill will require a comprehensive review and update of Secret Service standards for the president, vice president, and major candidates during election cycles – though it’s unclear yet how candidates will be classified as “major.”

“Regardless of how every American feels, regardless of how every American intends to vote, it is the right of the American people to determine the outcome of this election,” Lawler said during the bill’s debate period on Thursday. “The idea that our election could be decided by an assassin’s bullet should shake the conscience of our nation, and it requires swift action by the federal government.”

Lawler said it was shocking it took a second assassination attempt for this bill to come to a vote.
