    President Joe Biden told reporters that his Secret Service detail won’t let him go out into crowds at rallies anymore because “it’s too dangerous” — just weeks after former President Donald Trump was shot .

    Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned with President Biden at a rally in Pittsburgh on Monday, after which he and VP Harris mingled with supporters onstage — a favorite part of campaigning for Biden. But he didn’t go into the crowd.

    The president spoke to reporters when he returned to the White House after the rally, and explained “the Secret Service doesn’t let me” go into the crowd, and added he believes VP Harris will win Pennsylvania:

    Q Mr. President, do you have plans to speak to Netanyahu?

    THE PRESIDENT: I can’t see you or hear you.

    Q Hi. Do you have any plans to speak to Prime Minister Netanyahu?

    THE PRESIDENT: Eventually.

    Q This week? Tomorrow?

    THE PRESIDENT: Eventually.

    Q On Ukraine —

    Q What — Mr. President —

    Q Mr. President, on Ukraine. Have you seen Ukraine’s request to lift restrictions on American weapons so they can strike back on Russian bases?

    THE PRESIDENT: I’ve made it clear what we propo- — what we support and don’t support.

    Thank you.

    Q Mr. President, how was it to be back on the campaign trail today?

    THE PRESIDENT: It feels good.

    Q Feels good? How do you feel about Pennsylvania?

    THE PRESIDENT: Except I’m not able to go out in the crowds anymore. They don’t — the Secret Service doesn’t let me.

    Q No? Why not?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, because they said it’s too dangerous. No one gets to go out.

    Q How do you feel about Pennsylvania right now?

    THE PRESIDENT: I feel real good about Pennsylvania. I think we’re going to win Pennsylvania.

    Trump was injured in a shooting on July 13 that has prompted investigations and recriminations over the Secret Service’s performance .
