Ronald Reagan (“Rawhide”)
As he was working to convince people to vote for him, Ronald Reagan’s image was closely linked to his Illinois roots. Although he lived in California for a large portion of his life, and especially when he worked as an actor, Reagan’s roles in western movies would imprint a specific image in the minds of Americans. This led to his code name of “Rawhide”, which the history books suggest was a name he chose for himself.

Hillary Clinton (“Evergreen”)
Although Hillary Clinton narrowly missed out on the presidency in 2016, she already had a nickname from when her husband Bill was president. This is common for the direct family of public officials, and although her husband was called “eagle”, she wanted something a little more diverse. “Evergreen” was settled on, and this is the same name that was used during her own presidential campaign. It’s safe to say that her political career has gone through the ups and the downs, so the name is suitable in various ways.
