In honor of Hillary Clinton officially becoming the Presidential Nominee of the Democratic Party, the Hillary Clinton campaign has launched the 45 Pin Project to design Hillary Campaign Buttons.
The campaign button is as old as American politics itself, and the first campaign buttons read "Long Live the President" over George Washington's initials. The choice for 45 pins is in honor of Hillary running to be the 45th President of the United States. The pins vary from incredibly patriotic to clever slogans, such as "Forward, together" written under an American flag or another one that reads "Hillary Trumps 'em all."
Designer Robynne Raye even created a Hillary button for Bernie supporters that reads, "Still Love Bernie, Voting for Hillary." The 45 Pin Project encompasses many of Hillary Clinton's campaign stances and the diversity of issues and demographics being targeted during the upcoming election.
