GOP demands Trump have 'same level' Secret Service protection as Biden after 2nd assassination attempt

Republican senators are calling on Secret Service to increase security for former President Donald Trump in the wake of a second assassination attempt.
The second assassination attempt took place on Sunday at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the former president was golfing. Suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after he allegedly pushed the muzzle of an AK-47 through the chain-link fence around the course.
