Washington: US Democratic Vice- Presidential nominee Kamala Harris secret service code name will be “Pioneer”. In a nod to own path breaking advance as the first black-Indian- American Vice- Presidential nominee, Harris picked pioneer from a list approved by the White House Communication Agency for secret service call sign.

Candidates are known to choose code names or call sign that resonate with them personally. Barack Obama, for instance, chose “Renegade” to signal his anti-establishment credentials and former first lady Michelle Obama was “Renaissance”. President Trump’s secret service code name “Mogul”, while Joe Biden has retained “Celtic” which he had when he was Vice- President. Harris choice of pioneer came on the centenary of the US Constitution’s 19^th amendment that gave women the right to vote.
