The cancellations come as Harris continues her book tour with security provided by the California Highway Patrol. According to reporting by KCRA, dozens of Highway Patrol officers have been reassigned since September to accompany the former vice president as she travels for tour events across the United States and occasionally overseas.

State officials have not revealed how many officers are assigned to Harris or the total taxpayer dollars spent on her security; however, a retired CHP officer indicated that the expenses would be “significant.”

“All I know is it’s a lot, it is a significant amount of money,” Republican Assemblyman Tom Lackey, who spent 28 years as a member of the CHP, told KCRA.

Joe Biden’s No. 2. previously held four book tour events in California, including two appearances in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, and a recent stop in Oakland.

Harris is currently scheduled to continue the tour with events in Greensboro, North Carolina, on April 13 and Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 14. Additional appearances are planned in Columbia, South Carolina, on April 16 and Savannah, Georgia, on April 17, The Post reported.
