Secret Service agents to get a fashion makeover thanks to Kristi Noem

Kristi Noem says she will ensure the 'right people' vote in midterms and elect 'the right leaders'

Secret Service members will receive tailored suits at taxpayer expense, following reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disliked the attire of a protective detail.
Graduates from protective detail training will be issued two navy blue suits, which will have their names embroidered inside the jacket.
The public contract solicitation from the Department of Homeland Security specifies that the suits must be entirely made in the United States.
The contract is set to cover a five-year ordering period, with the total cost yet to be determined.
A DHS spokesperson stated that the initiative aims to address an inequity, as non-uniformed agents currently have to pay for their own work attire, unlike those in the Uniformed Division.
