After two failed assassination attempts, the House of Representatives today finally passed a bill to enhance Secret Service protection for President Donald Trump. It seems this was the first bipartisan vote members took in a very long time. With the unanimous vote passing it 405-0, a rare showing of bipartisanship in Congress, we now wait and see if the Senate will follow suit.
00:00:00.000Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Friday, September 20th.
00:00:05.500After two failed assassination attempts, the House of Representatives today finally passed a bill to enhance Secret Service protection for Donald Trump.
00:00:13.040Imagine that, over two months after the first attempt, they now decide it's time.
00:00:19.400It seems this was the first bipartisan vote members took in a very long time, with the unanimous vote passing it 405-0, a rare showing of bipartisanship in Congress.
00:00:28.780We now wait and see if the Senate can follow in suit.
00:00:32.140If passed by the Senate and signed into law by Joe Biden, the bill would mandate a comprehensive review of U.S. Secret Service protective standards
00:00:38.400and impose uniform standards for the security of presidents, vice presidents, and major White House candidates.
00:00:44.920New polling out from Virginia has the Harris campaign trembling.
00:00:48.580The University of Washington Center for Leadership and Media Studies poll shows that Harris and Trump are in a dead heat, both polling at 45%.
00:00:56.580Those of you that follow this show daily have heard me refer to Virginia in every interview I do with any pollster.
00:01:02.380I think there's a real chance of flipping Virginia red, which can completely change the political landscape for this election.
00:01:08.380And in other polling news, the Marxist left-run New York Times outwit a new poll today,
00:01:12.720showing Donald Trump is more favorable than, get this, Taylor Swift.
00:01:16.580The poll showed that 47% of respondents had a favorable opinion of Trump, while just 44% viewed Swift as favorable.
00:01:23.920More than 2,400 likely voters were surveyed for the poll.
