Kennedy dropped out.
So no Secret Service protection for him.
It was the correct thing.
HOWEVER ... when Kennedy got into the race he should have immediately been given it and wasn't. THAT was wrong.

Are we sure Biden instructed the SS to end protection, or did the agency decide it?

Pretty soon Joe will be dropping out, and there will be no protection for him either

Um, what's the difference?

A lot.
Depending on the answer, it changes the whole context of the story.
I’m personally curious about how these things play out, it helps me form my view on each issue and on the current state of affairs as a whole.
Are you saying, if it happened, we can just assume it was Biden? Because that would bring up other questions, like is he suddenly making decisions, and why now on this?
If it was the secret service, we could look at that separately. Is that procedure? Is this intentional (which might be answered by other events).
To me there could be a huge difference.

Does the SS agency make its own decisions, or is the President over it?

Come on CS, of course many here are sure, a trusted member has put it their headline so it must be true. However, like you I read the article and nowhere is the claim made that Biden directed this decision, just that the agency initiated the action.
