House lawmakers will see a stipend for personal private security double in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with members on both sides of the aisle concerned about the rise in political violence.
The stipend for the personal security pilot program will increase from $5,000 to $10,000 a month. It will be active until Nov. 21, the same deadline for the short-term spending deal proposed by GOP leadership, which punts funding the government another seven weeks.
