<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> campaign is requesting military assets to protect him in the final weeks of the campaign after receiving intelligence briefings from U.S. officials about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran&#8217;s</a> continued efforts to assassinate him.</p>
<p>The campaign has requested &#8220;sophisticated, classified military assets that are used only for sitting presidents; the pre-placement of ballistic, or bullet-resistant, glass in the main battleground states where he would be campaigning most frequently; and an expansion of temporary flight restrictions over Mr. Trump’s residences and campaign sites,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/11/us/politics/trump-campaign-security.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The requests come after Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/journalist-captures-photo-of-bullet-whizzing-past-trumps-head-after-it-hit-his-ear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">narrowly</a> escaped death when he was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.</p>
<p>There was also a plot from the Iranian government that was foiled in July when a Pakistani national was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-arrest-pakistani-man-with-ties-to-iran-for-alleged-plot-to-kill-trump-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> in the U.S. for an alleged murder-for-hire scheme to kill the former president.</p>
<p>He was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/authorities-release-new-info-about-assassination-attempt-on-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly shot at</a> again while playing golf at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach in September.</p>
<p>The campaign has been hampered by the Secret Service&#8217;s inability to provide the necessary level of protection at all campaign events, which has led the campaign to have to cancel some events.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden said on Friday that Trump should receive the same level of protection that he does.</p>
<p>“I’ve told the department to give him every single thing he needs … as he were a sitting president,” Biden said. “If it fits into that category, that’s fine.”</p>
<p>Former U.S. officials <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/11/trump-security-threats-iran-election-2024-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Washington Post that it would be &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; for the Secret Service to provide military assets to protect Trump. The Post noted that Trump&#8217;s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, &#8220;receives protection from the U.S. Marines as vice president and flies on Air Force Two, which is a military airplane.&#8221;</p>
<p>The newspaper seemingly acknowledged that the administration would loath to give Trump military protection because it could help him politically.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the administration granted such assets, it would give Trump a distinct look in the final months that no challenger has ever had — and would remind voters visually, every day, that he is under threat,&#8221; the report said.</p>
