Today, Congresswoman Bice voted in favor of H.R. 9106, the Enhanced Presidential Security Act of 2024. This legislation provides increased Secret Service protection to Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s nominee for this year's Presidential election. The bill comes after two assassination attempts on the former President within the last few months. The House of Representatives passed the bill unanimously.

Congresswoman Bice released the following statement:

“Our nation was founded on the values of democracy, to let the people choose who they want to lead. The increased political violence we have seen toward President Trump, the nominee for President of the Republican Party, is unacceptable. No matter our views, we must protect candidates running for the highest office in the land. I was grateful to see this legislation pass in a bipartisan fashion.”
