Following his recent withdrawal from his presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has lost his Secret Service protection.

Kennedy Jr.'s Secret Service protection was removed after he endorsed Donald Trump and effectively withdrew from the presidential race, as Fox News reports.

The decision to end Kennedy's security detail was confirmed by his press secretary in a statement to CBS News. Initially, Kennedy did not receive Secret Service protection but was later granted security following an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July.
