According to the New York Post, a Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris fought with several other agents earlier this week.
“A Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris was hospitalized after exhibiting distressing behavior, including spouting gibberish, speaking incoherently, and physically provoking another officer. Authorities said Harris was not present when the incident occurred,” Rawsalerts wrote.

From the New York Post:
The altercation took place around 9 a.m. near Joint Base Andrews on the outskirts of Washington DC, prior to Harris’ arrival on the scene.
The agent in question, whose identity has not been revealed, was immediately “removed from their assignment,” the Secret Service told The Post.
“A US Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the US Secret Service, said to The Post.
“The US Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously.”
Medical personnel were called onto the scene, per Guglielmi. That agent had been at Joint Base Andrews to support Harris’ planned departure, but ultimately the scuffle did not delay her travel.

The Washington Examiner reports:
All Secret Service agents are armed while on domestic protective duty. But as with their Diplomatic Security Service counterparts, agents assigned to protective details endure heavy travel burdens, often working long hours away from home. The psychological health of armed agents serving in very close proximity to high-ranking government officials and foreign heads of state is thus a high-priority concern for the Secret Service.
Moreover, the Vice Presidential Protective Division is widely regarded within the Secret Service as the second most prestigious assignment after the Presidential Protective Division. Because of the continuity of government protocols, VPD agents are party to exceptionally sensitive planning on responses to nuclear war and catastrophic terrorist attacks or environmental disasters. Agents must serve in field offices for a minimum of three years and receive excellent performance reports before going to VPD. They must also then pass the intensive Protective Detail Training course at the Secret Service’s James J. Rowley training facility in the DC suburbs.
The Washington Examiner is unaware of the agent’s current status. The Vice President’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
