Secret Service Names J.D. Vance 'Bobcat'

Senator JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate running with Donald Trump, has been assigned the Secret Service code name 'Bobcat.' This designation, revealed by a friend to the Daily Mail, references Ohio University and Breathitt County High School mascots, both tied to Vance's personal history and memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy.' Secret Service code names, once crucial for security, are now largely ceremonial, aiding in quick communication. This news follows the recent assassination attempt on Trump, which has intensified scrutiny on the Secret Service. Notably, Trump’s code name is 'Mogul,' while Joe Biden is 'Celtic,' reflecting their personal backgrounds.
