Original Note:
NNN - multiple presidential candidates have received secret service protection well outside of the 120 day guideline. Protective detail is based on actual threats and acts of aggression against candidates. Some examples: Trump: https://edition.cnn.com/2015/11/05/politics/donald-trump-ben-carson-secret-service/index.html Obama: https://edition.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/03/obama.protection/ John Mccane : https://www.wbal.com/which-presidential-candidate-gets-secret-service-protection-comes-down-to-a-few-factors-analysis/ Ted Kennedy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1979/09/21/kennedy-gets-secret-service-protection/a735a76e-875f-45bf-8a70-21cf6af71ca3/
