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.
