Kamala Harris's Secret Service code name: "Pioneer."
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/17/politics/kamala-harris-secret-service-code-name-pioneer/index.htmlThe code name "Pioneer" is a nod to Harris taking her place in history as the first Black woman and Indian American woman on a major party ticket. If elected in November, she would become the first female vice president, the first Indian American vice president, the first Black vice president and the first Jamaican American vice president.
Jonathan Wackrow, a former Secret Service special agent who's a CNN law enforcement analyst, said in an interview, "Over time, the (Secret Service) protectees have almost taken on the persona of the call sign that they had selected."
"With (former President Barack) Obama, 'Renegade' is a great example: how he went against the establishment in some of the things that he had done, and like Barbara Bush, whose call sign was 'Tranquility,' embodied the tranquility and peacefulness in a time of war," Wackrow said.
Former first lady Michelle Obama's code name is "Renaissance."
Also, I'm going to say something nice about Melania Trump: "Muse" is a pretty cool code name.
