What a strange confession.
Vice President Kamala Harris recently shared some intriguing personal insights during an appearance on the podcast “All The Smoke.” She opened up about her struggles with insomnia, particularly after President Biden endorsed her as his potential successor. Harris revealed that the night before she made the pivotal decision to select Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, she barely slept.
At 59, Harris described a whirlwind of activity following Biden’s announcement that he wouldn’t seek reelection. She recalled waking up early that fateful morning in Washington, feeling anxious yet compelled to make a choice. To clear her mind, she turned to cooking, a passion she has often highlighted as a way to connect with voters. “I just got up, went out, and started marinating a pork roast,” she said, emphasizing the comforting nature of preparing a meal.
Interestingly, Harris has frequently used cooking as a strategy to engage with the American public. She has been spotted visiting local spice shops and engaging with food-related activities to resonate with voters, especially as she prepares for the upcoming election against Donald Trump.
Despite her busy schedule, which she admits can be overwhelming, Harris also spoke about her routines for managing stress. She incorporates regular morning exercise into her day and practices mindfulness through prayer. “The number one rule: don’t read the comments,” she advised, highlighting the importance of focusing on what truly matters rather than getting caught up in online criticism.
As the race heats up, with polls showing her in a tight competition against Trump, it’s clear that Harris is not just focused on politics but is also finding ways to relate to everyday Americans through her culinary interests and personal anecdotes. The upcoming election is poised to be a pivotal moment in U.S. history, and how candidates connect with voters will be crucial.
