Harris’s Response
Harris’s senior advisor, Kirsten Allen, expressed gratitude to the Secret Service for their professionalism and unwavering commitment to safety. Despite the loss of federal protection, Harris is proceeding with her planned book tour, which includes international stops in London and Toronto .
