Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio has chosen his Secret Service code name, according to a new report.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Vance’s code name is “Bobcat.” Former President Donald Trump’s code name is “Mogul.”
The Mail suggested two sports-related reasons for Vance’s choice, which was made from a list of possible names.
Ohio University’s sports teams are known as the Bobcats. Additionally, there are the Breathitt County Bobcats in Kentucky, where Vance spent summers as a child.
The Mail cited an unnamed longtime friend who said the name was selected to honor his connections to both states.
In a recent speech in Middletown, Ohio, Vance said the Republican ticket of him and Trump would focus on “forgotten communities all across our country,” according to NPR.
“We’re going to fight for every single worker in this country,” he pledged. “If you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to put a good dinner on the table and send your kids to whatever vacation and whatever school you want. To work hard and play by the rules, you get a good life. It’s that simple.”
Vance described Trump as a leader who believes in the importance of domestic manufacturing.
“He is a person who believes this very simple thing, and they call him a radical for it, but it happens just to be common sense: his radical idea is that America should make more stuff in its own country for its own citizens, and that the American nation belongs to the American people,” Vance said.
In a speech in Michigan, Vance criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, the expected Democratic presidential nominee.
“Kamala Harris said something to the effect that I have no loyalty to this country,” he said, according to The Hill. “Well, I don’t know Kamala. I did serve in the United States Marine Corps and built a business. What the hell have you done other than collect a check?”
During the Michigan rally, Vance accused Democrats of undermining the democratic process, according to ABC.
“Elite Democrats got in a smoke-filled room and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard,” he said. “This is not OK, ladies and gentlemen. You cannot, for three-and-a-half years, take a guy who clearly didn’t have the mental capacity to do the job,” Vance said.
“Kamala Harris lied about it. My Senate Democratic colleagues lied about it. The media lied about it,” Vance said, calling the cover-up an “insult to voters.”
Vance outlined a vision for a second Trump administration.
“We’re going to shut down that border, we’re going to put American citizens first, because that’s what American citizens are gonna elect us to do. It’s common sense,” he said.
