How long after the election does a presidential candidate have secret service protection?

Answer:

In the case of Senator McCain, his secret service protection was gone overnight. He was photographed the next morning driving his Toyota SUV out of a hotel garage with Senator Graham- no protection in sight. Senator Clinton did not lose SS protection when she withdrew due to her status as a former first lady.
