JAKARTA - United States (US) President Joe Biden ordered the Secret Service to protect independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr (RFK Jr) following the attempted murder of Donald Trump last weekend.

This information was conveyed by the Minister of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday, July 15, local time.

RFK campaign team Jr. has requested protection for Secret Service long before the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

The Kennedy family is well aware of how quickly a striker RFK Jr.'s father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, John F. Kennedy, were killed in the 1960s.

"Given the incident this weekend, the president has directed me to cooperate with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.," Mayorkas announced at a White House press conference reported by CBS News.

Kennedy is still trying to appear in votes across the country, and his goal as president is far from expectations.

But he had strong support from a number of Americans, and the show caught the attention of many people.

Regarding Trump's shooting, Biden has ordered an independent review of Trump's grand campaign on Saturday last weekend and the handling of the situation by law enforcement.

Trump was not seriously injured when he was shot, but one spectator was killed, and the other two were critical.
