Yes and no. Yes, they did buy two buses, for $1.1 million each, but not for a campaign trip. The Secret Service needed to upgrade its presidential fleet, and the two buses were specially equipped with protective armor and other security devices necessary to protect a modern president who is out on the road, whether for official business or for a campaign stop. According to the Secret Service, the price for each bus was typical of (and actually slightly less than) what a custom-designed luxury motor coach costs.
