bulletproof

"In this current climate, no-one is bulletproof."

Harris’ 12-minute speech, behind bulletproof glass in front of the brick, flag-lined Frederick Douglas Memorial Hall, took place less than 24 hours on the site where her supporters had gathered to celebrate what they had hoped would be the election of the first female president.

Nearby, in Arizona — also a battleground state for the presidential election — Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes revealed in a recent court hearing that he wears a bulletproof vest during election season.

Panic buttons and bulletproof glass have been installed at election offices, which are also monitoring mail for envelopes laced with fentanyl.

Such an extraordinary reversal of fortune for the former president would also vault him back into the White House as a man who seems politically bulletproof, with a detailed plan of action and ranks of loyalists behind him.
