US Secret Service Adds Security Personnel for Biden, 'Likely to Win'... Another Speech on the 6th
[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who is closing in on securing the "magic number 270 votes" needed to win the U.S. presidency, will deliver a national address on the 6th (local time). The Secret Service has decided to deploy additional personnel for his protection, judging that Biden's entry into the White House is highly likely.
The Washington Post (WP), citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, reported that starting from the 6th, the Secret Service will send additional personnel to Wilmington, Delaware, to protect Biden. This move follows Biden's plan to use the Wilmington Convention Center for an extra day to deliver a major speech. WP analyzed that this action by the Secret Service reflects their high confidence in Biden's chances of winning the election.

However, WP added that although the additional protection for Biden will begin on the 6th, it will not be the close protection typically afforded to a president-elect. Katherine Milhoan, a Secret Service spokesperson, declined to comment, stating, "We do not publicly discuss security measures for presidents or candidates."
