In anticipation of an early election win, the US Secret Service adds more guards to protect presidential candidate Biden

According to the Washington Post, the agencysecret servicesummoned a team of agents, adding more people to the security forceMr. Bidenafter his campaign announced it would continue to use the Wilmington convention center for at least another day and would make a major speech as early as today.

The information was revealed by two people familiar with the plan who asked not to be named. However, the Biden campaign declined to comment.

Dozens of agents are now guarding Mr. Biden's campaign at the Chase Center at the Riverfront Convention Center in Wilmington, while vote counting continues in battleground states.

The decision to send more guards to protect Mr. Biden does not mean he will have the full protection of a president-elect, but it is closer to that. It is still unclear how much protection the Secret Service will provide if Mr. Biden wins the White House.

Typically, the Secret Service increases protection for the president-elect immediately after one candidate is declared the winner and the other concedes. If Biden wins and Trump refuses to concede, the Secret Service will wait until the electors meet in December to certify the vote before officially treating Biden as president-elect.
