Following the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the American president requested, on Monday, July 15, that the independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy, benefit from the protection of the Secret Service, announced the Secretary of Homeland Security. The main person concerned, whose uncle, President “JFK”, and father, Democratic candidate Bobby Kennedy, were assassinated, immediately thanked Joe Biden.

Earlier, it was former President Donald Trump himself who had estimated “imperative” that the Secret Service provide protection to Robert F. Kennedy. “Given the history of the Kennedy family, this is clearly the right thing to do!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

The grandson of “JFK” had welcomed this call from the Republican candidate, considering that the fact that a rival called for his protection was “a sign of hope for our country”. Robert F. Kennedy finally wrote on X that he met with Donald Trump on Monday morning, but denied the “rumors” on any withdrawal from the race.
