Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), according to the Los Angeles Times. The move comes after President Trump revoked her Secret Service detail, sparking claims of political retaliation. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office coordinated the arrangement following the removal of Harris’ federal security clearance. Bass criticized the decision, stating it “puts the former Vice President in danger” and vowed to ensure her safety in Los Angeles.

Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday ending Harris’ protection as of Monday, according to sources. Former vice presidents typically receive Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office, but Biden had extended Harris’ detail to July 2026. Without the extension, her security would have ended last month. Newsom’s office declined to confirm the CHP arrangement, citing a policy of not commenting on security matters.

Harris is set to begin a book tour for her memoir, “107 Days,” which recounts her 2024 presidential campaign. The 15-city tour includes stops in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Toronto, and London. Social media users ridiculed the announcement, with some calling it “the loser tour” and mocking her celebration of a lost election. Critics also questioned the timing of the book launch, which coincides with her defeat by Trump.
