US Senate passes bill to strengthen security for presidential candidates

On September 24, local time, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the "Enhancing Presidential Security Act," which aims to strengthen the U.S. Secret Service's security for major presidential candidates. After Republican presidential candidate Trump suffered two "assassination attempts" this year, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the bill on September 20 and submitted it to the Senate for deliberation. The bill will strengthen the U.S. Secret Service's protection of presidential candidates to the same level as the current president. In addition, the bill will expand the scope of presidential-level protection to vice presidential candidates and require the Secret Service to regularly report to the leaders of the House and Senate on the protection of candidates.
