Does the Secret Service really need “more help”? Or do they and their parent organization need better leadership?
Joe Biden expressed relief that Donald Trump escaped unharmed after this second attempt on his life. He then proceeded to pass the buck back to Congress:
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Biden says the Secret Service ‘needs more help’ after Trump targeted in apparent assassination attempt.

Gee, that’s not a bad idea. So who’s in charge that could make that happen? I bet Biden knows someone who can make those decisions.

At one point, Joe Biden used to express quite a bit of fondness for those, too.
It’s becoming clear that something needs to change at the US Secret Service, but the problem appears…
