The Enhanced Presidential Security Act of 2024, a bill introduced by Representative Mike Lawler (R-NY-17) with Representative Ritchie Torres (D-NY-15), has passed the Senate unanimously. The legislation aims to provide enhanced United States Secret Service protection for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

"I am thrilled to see that the Senate unanimously passed the Enhanced Presidential Security Act tonight, building on the House's overwhelming passage of this measure last week," said Congressman Lawler. "Ensuring that both Vice President Harris and Former President Trump have an equal level of Secret Service protection to President Biden is critical for this election."

"Our elections should be decided at the ballot box, not by a bullet," concluded Congressman Lawler. "This legislation will make sure that they are."

Congressman Lawler represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which includes parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
