but Biden is not the president. The President must be protected. So his guys pretty much can call the shots.

they all work together and there will be an advance detail as well. They all report back to the same chain of command. I worked for the SS during the end of the Carter Admin and a portion of the Reagan administrations, in Human Resources. I think they have expanded who they protect since I left but in general the VP and his family (children under 16) get 6 mo of protection after leaving office but it can be renewed depending on the circumstances. Either way, hed have a detail as a candidate and the protocol is pretty much out of the manual.
hey...thanQ for that. So much first hand knowledge and talent at FR.
I have none here, so I was following this: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/protecting-us-government-leaders-security-analysis/story?id=66258938
