Here is JD Vance’s secret service code name and more.

Amidst ongoing scrutiny and criticism following the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Secret Service has introduced a new code name for Senator JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate.

Senator Vance, hailing from Ohio, is running alongside Trump in his bid to return to the White House. According to the Daily Mail, which cited a close associate of Vance, the new code name for the senator is “Bobcat.”

The Secret Service assigns code names to high-profile individuals under their protection, including presidents, vice presidents, and first ladies. Originally, these code names served a crucial role in safeguarding national leaders through discreet communication. Today, however, in an age of advanced encryption and secure technology, the names are more ceremonial, facilitating quick and efficient communication during high-stress situations.

The selection of these code names often carries personal significance, reflecting aspects of the individual’s background or identity. For instance, the alliterative nature of family code names appears to be a tradition.

Some notable Secret Service code names include:

  • Bobcat – Assigned to Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance. This name resonates with Vance’s ties to his home state and community, as “Bobcats” is a nickname for both Ohio University and Breathitt County High School in Jackson, Kentucky, where Vance’s memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” is set.
  • Capri – Used for First Lady Jill Biden, paired with “Celtic” for President Joe Biden, reflecting his Irish heritage.
  • Dancer – The code name for First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who was also known as “Lotus Petal,” while her husband, President Jimmy Carter, was given the code name “Deacon,” signifying his deep religious faith.
  • Eagle – The code name for President Bill Clinton, potentially linked to his association with the Boy Scouts, given that “Eagle Scout” is their highest rank.
  • Evergreen – Assigned to First Lady Hillary Clinton, matched with “Eagle” for her husband.
  • Hoosier – Vice President Mike Pence’s code name, reflecting his Indiana roots.
  • Hummingbird – For Second Lady Karen Pence, paired with “Hoosier.”
  • Lace – The code name for First Lady Jackie Kennedy, suggesting elegance and complementing her husband’s code name, “Lancer,” which was inspired by the Camelot comparison of JFK’s administration.
  • Lyric – Used for Caroline Kennedy, inspired by the song “Sweet Caroline.”
  • Muse – The code name for First Lady Melania Trump, perhaps highlighting her role as an inspiring figure.
  • Mogul – President Donald Trump’s code name, chosen instead of his preferred “Humble,” as reported by Britannica.
  • Passkey – Assigned to President Gerald Ford.
  • Pioneer – For Vice President Kamala Harris, a name she selected in August 2020 shortly after being chosen as the VP candidate.

These code names reflect both personal and symbolic elements of the individuals they represent, continuing a tradition of blending security with personal significance.
