Original Note:
There has never been automatic secret service protection for all presidential candidates. Recipients are decided by the Secretary of Homeland Security and based on several criteria. In 2016 only 4 candidates received USSS protection during the primaries. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/presidential-candidate-secret-service-protection-factors-analysis/story?id=62513154
