Original Note:
There have been attempts to fact-check this tweet with a statement that candidates can only apply for protection by the Secret Service within 120 days of a general election. That statement is incorrect, 120 days refers to the spouses of candidates. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/presidential-candidate-secret-service-protection-factors-analysis/story?id=62513154 https://www.secretservice.gov/protection/leaders/campaign-2024 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056
