I believe that's correct. SS protection can happen sooner if the candidate requests it. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2020 #3

That’s what’s great about having a candidate that knows how things work. So refreshing. After trump, it is a comfort for sure.

Once a candidate is formally nominated he gets a one-time intelligence briefing, but after the election as president-elect he will get the PDB. https://www.thecipherbrief.com/column_article/intelligence-briefings-for-the-presidential-nominees
