Joe Biden's presidential campaign has requested protection from the Secret Service.
This news is being passed out by a congressional official familiar with the discussions.
For a candidate to get protection from the Secret Service, he or she has to first ask.
The Department of Homeland Security will then conduct a threat assessment.
That will be reviewed by the top leaders in Congress like Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi.
