As the 2024 presidential primary field grows, President Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have a key advantage over other candidates. They retain round-the-clock taxpayer-provided protective details.
Biden is protected by the Secret Service's extensively resourced Presidential Protective Division. As a former president, Trump will receive lifetime Secret Service protection. As the Sunshine State's incumbent governor, DeSantis and his family are protected by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Protective Operations Section. For all three candidates, this protection is fully funded by taxpayers without campaign compensation.
Top line: Considering the early stage of the presidential campaign, this taxpayer-provided protection will save millions of dollars for each campaign. This includes former Vice President Mike Pence, who is expected to join the campaign trail this week. As a former vice president, Pence received Secret Service protection only for the first six months after he left office. Similarly, only while serving as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. did Nikki Haley receive protection from the Diplomatic Security Service.
