I noticed the same thing with the US presidential election. He's Trump, but for some reason she's just Hillary.

That was the choice of their respective campaigns, not something that happened organically.

Hillary was seen as a puppet for Bill. Makes sense to downplay the last name.

Hillary is a different case because her husband Bill was president, so most people associate Clinton with Bill.
