In the Harris-Walz campaign, food has emerged as an unexpectedly resonant theme. Vice President Kamala Harris has showcased her culinary skills through the YouTube series “Cooking with Kamala,” while coverage of Tim Walz has frequently highlighted his award-winning hotdishes. But food's role extends beyond mere symbolism. In a new interview with CNN, Harris revealed that it was over a meal that she first learned of President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection bid and endorse her as his successor.
"My family was staying with us, and including my baby nieces, and we had just had pancakes," Harris said in the Thursday interview. The children were in the middle of asking for more breakfast — “Auntie, can I have more bacon?” — when “the phone rang, and it was Joe Biden.”
