Earlier today, we reported on rumors that the Trump campaign had requested a military aircraft and vehicles in the days leading up to Election Day due to ongoing assassination threats.
Now, these reports have been confirmed as true.
The Trump campaign has requested a military aircraft, transport vehicles, and flight restrictions over his residences and rallies. They also want ballistic glass readily available in all 7 key swing states.
And, Joe Biden has just approved all of these requests.
Speaking to reporters, he said, "As long as he doesn’t ask for F-15s. I’ve told the department to give him every single thing he needs."

From The Washington Examiner:
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has asked for military aircraft and vehicles to transport him around the country in the final weeks of the presidential campaign because of an ongoing assassination threat against him from Iran.
President Biden said Friday that he has told the Department of Defense to work with the Secret Service to fulfill the request.
“As long as he doesn’t ask for F-15s. I’ve told the department to give him every single thing he needs,” the president told reporters at the White House.
In addition to the military aircraft and vehicles, Mr. Trump’s campaign has requested flight restrictions over his residences and rallies to be expanded, which was first reported by The New York Times.
The campaign also wants ballistic glass — which has been used at Mr. Trump’s outdoor rallies since the July 13 assassination attempt on him at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — to be readily available in the seven presidential swing states for the campaign’s use.
Mr. Biden had previously ordered the Secret Service to enhance Mr. Trump’s proactive assets after the Butler shooting, the first of two assassination attempts against Mr. Trump.
“If it fits into that category, that’s fine,” the president said of the new request for military assets.
Now, we'll see if Biden's promise means anything here.
I mean, we all know he isn't the one running the show anymore, but it does seem like the White House has been instructed to approve Trump's request.
I'm curious which aircraft they'll be giving him: a C-17? 747?
