The Los Angeles Police Department and California Highway Patrol will provide former Vice President Kamala Harris with protection until another plan is established, the LAPD confirmed to Axios on Friday.

Why it matters: President Trump recently revoked Harris' Secret Service protection, which had been extended beyond the usual six months provided to vice presidents.

"This temporary coordinated effort is in place to ensure that there is no lapse in security," an LAPD spokesperson said.

Catch up quick: Former President Biden extended Harris' Secret Service protection past July 21, when it was set to end.

Trump rescinded this protection as of Monday.

State of play: Harris faced death threats while in office and on the campaign trail last year.
