On September 1, President Donald Trump revoked her security detail, prompting swift action from California authorities. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has stepped in to ensure Harris's safety during her tour following the withdrawal of federal protection.

The decision to revoke her Secret Service security detail has raised questions, as vice presidents typically receive such protection as per standard protocol.
