Sept. 20 (UPI) -- In a rare unanimous bipartisan vote in the House, the body passed legislation that would increase Secret Service protection for the two presidential nominees and their running mates.

The bill, which originated from the House floor under an expedited process, comes less than a week after an apparent second assassination attempt against, former President Donald Trump, passed 405-0.
