JD Vance's Secret Service code name exposed as he joins 'Mogul' in pursuit of the White House.

The Secret Service has reportedly given Sen. JD Vance a new code name as the agency faces scrutiny and outrage following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The 45th president hopes to regain the White House with Trump as his running mate, who is a Republican senator from Ohio.

The Daily Mail of London reported that Vance's Secret Service code name is "Bobcat," according to a friend of Vance's. Planet Chronicle Digital also contacted the Trump-Vance campaign and the Secret Service for comment.

High-profile individuals, including presidents, vice presidents, first ladies, and others, are assigned Secret Service code names for protection.

The cloak-and-dagger purpose they once had was to safeguard the nation's top leaders.

In today's era of encrypted technology, names are mostly symbolic and used for convenience in quick, high-stress scenarios.

According to a Reagan insider, Trump will rise spiritually and politically after being shot, just like he stood there "like a man."

A Secret Service spokesperson once stated that code names are chosen "by sheer whim."

The code names of certain individuals seem to be related to their personal history or heritage, as it is tradition within families to use alliteration in their code names.
