The president made the comment to reporters in front of the White House on Monday.
WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 16: U.S. President Joe Biden approaches reporters as he departs the White House on September 16, 2024 in Washington, DC. “The Secret Service needs more help,” Biden said in response to what law enforcement is saying was a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend. Biden is traveling to Delaware and Philadelphia, where he will address the 2024 National HBCU Week Conference.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Sunday a Secret Service agent shot at a man pointing a gun toward the golf course where Trump was playing. The agent was one hole ahead of the former president, who was 300-500 yards away from the gunman situated at the course's perimeter, according to Sheriff Ric Bradshaw.
“At this level that he is at right now – he’s not the sitting president. If he was, we would’ve had this entire golf course surrounded,” the sheriff said. “But because he’s not, the security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.”
