Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Appeals for Secret Service Protection Amid Home Invasion Stalker Threat

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pleading for Secret Service protection after a stalker invaded his Los Angeles property twice in one day. Kennedy's previous requests for protection were rejected by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The alleged trespasser, Jonathan Macht, is expected to be released soon, leaving Kennedy vulnerable to potential threats. While major presidential or vice-presidential candidates can receive Secret Service protection, the majority of primary candidates do not. Kennedy, known for his controversial anti-vaccine views, dropped out of the Democratic race against Biden to run as an independent and is seen as a potential disruptor in the general election.
