Kamala Harris will receive security from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) following the revocation of her Secret Service detail by President Trump. The arrangement was coordinated by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office after Trump terminated her protection.
Bass criticized the move, calling it “another act of revenge” fueled by political retaliation. She emphasized efforts to ensure Harris’ safety in Los Angeles, though Newsom’s office declined to confirm the CHP arrangement, stating, “The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.”
Harris’ security had been extended by former President Biden until July 2026, but Trump’s memo ended her protection as of Monday. Former vice presidents typically receive Secret Service coverage for six months post-term, while ex-presidents get lifelong protection.
Harris is set to launch a book tour for her memoir, 107 Days, featuring 15 stops across Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Toronto, and London. The tour has drawn mockery online, with critics labeling it “the loser tour” and mocking her celebration of a campaign that ended in defeat. Social media users ridiculed her announcement, including a post showcasing her campaign-era smiles.
The book details Harris’ 107-day presidential bid, which concluded with her loss to Trump. Critics have questioned the timing of the tour, with some calling it an attempt to capitalize on her political downfall.
