The Biden administration announced Monday that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is receiving Secret Service protection as of Monday following the attempted assassination of former President Trump this past weekend.
The independent presidential candidate had been seeking government protection and submitted six requests since his announcement in April 2023.
"In light of this weekend's events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a White House press briefing Monday.
"We are in a heightened and very dynamic threat environment," Mayorkas added.
Trump was given increased security before and after the rally shooting, in anticipation of being officially named the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee, he added.
Trump weighed in on the matter earlier Monday, saying it was "imperative" that Kennedy be granted Secret Service protection.
"Given the history of the Kennedy Family, this is the obvious right thing to do!" he said.

My question is RFK any safer?
Time will tell - we live in turbulent times!
This man lost his father and his uncle. The democrats and China Joe won't give him a secret service detail? Maybe that is a good thing after what happened to Trump. Trump will win and the Democrats will scatter like cockroaches!
RFK, Jr. received SS today. Time will tell how competent. Pray for our national leaders and country during these turbulent times.
God Bless,
