Former U.S Vice President Kamala Harris is no longer under Secret Service protection, following a decision by the Trump administration to end the extended security detail granted to her by former President Joe Biden.
According to a White House official, the protection which typically lasts six months after a vice president leaves office, was allowed to lapse on July 21, 2025.
Biden had previously approved an extension of that protection, but the Trump administration has now revoked it, CNN reported on Friday.
Reacting to the development, a senior aide to Harris told AFP that the former VP was “grateful to the United States Secret Service for their professionalism, dedication, and unwavering commitment to safety.”
Though Harris has kept a relatively low profile since losing the 2024 election to Donald Trump, she is expected to re-emerge publicly this fall as part of a nationwide book tour promoting her upcoming memoir.
Titled “107 Days,” the book offers an inside perspective on Harris’s brief but historic presidential campaign. The memoir, published by Simon & Schuster, is scheduled for release on September 23, 2025.
In a statement, Harris said she approached the writing of the book with “candor and reflection,” and described it as a “behind-the-scenes account” of her journey during the campaign. She had become the Democratic presidential nominee after Biden stepped down amid mounting concerns about his cognitive health.
Kamala Harris made history as the first woman—and the first woman of color—to serve as Vice President of the United States.
Since returning to power in January, President Trump has taken a series of aggressive steps targeting individuals he sees as political foes.
These include revoking security clearances from former officials, defunding certain universities, and pressuring law firms that were previously involved in litigation against him.
Most recently, federal agents raided the home and office of John Bolton, Trump’s former national security advisor and long-time critic. Officials stated the raid was part of an investigation into mishandling of classified documents.
