In the lead up to election day, fast food, snacks, and caffeine are fueling the eating habits of both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s campaigns. While the Democratic presidential nominee told Maria Shriver she works out and tries to eat well, Harris’ go-to grub is nacho cheese Doritos. The vice president was pictured snacking on the cheesy chips on her plane this week, and claimed she ate a whole bag of the salty snack to cope with Trump’s election victory in 2016. As for her running mate Tim Walz, he and his staff munch on Dot’s pretzels (which he shouted out in a TikTok with daughter Hope Walz) and beef jerky. Trump’s love of McDonalds and Diet Coke are well known, and remain unchanged according to several aides who spoke to the Wall Street Journal. The former president also enjoys Chick-fil-A.
