In a recent fundraising email that’s making waves, Vice President Kamala Harris opened up about her very strange reaction to Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory: binge-eating a family-sized bag of nacho cheese Doritos. And no, she didn’t share with anybody—not even her husband, Doug Emhoff.

In the email, Harris paints a vivid picture of that fateful night. Fresh off her own victory, winning a seat in the U.S. Senate to represent California, she admits that her acceptance speech was bittersweet.

While her win was a personal triumph, the overall election results were a shocker. And what do you do when you’re faced with unexpected emotions? Apparently, if you’re Kamala Harris, you reach for the Doritos.

If she wins this election, let’s hope Kim Cheatle is back to guarding the Doritos so we can get a whole shipment in the West Wing for Harris in case anything stressful happens in the world.

Imagine it: Kamala Harris, newly elected Senator, sitting on her couch in the aftermath of one of the most surprising election results in modern history. No speech notes, no congratulations party—just a big bag of Doritos and a lot of disbelief.

“I did not share one chip with anybody. Not even Doug,” she confesses. If that isn’t a weird snack-fueled stress reaction, we don’t know what is.

The Vice President isn’t just sharing her snack habits for fun—she’s using this story to make a point. In the email, Harris emphasizes the importance of continuing the fight against the kind of politics that led to Trump’s election and maybe she’s just afraid of the excess calories and MSG.

But let’s be real: while the fundraising pitch is serious, the image of Kamala Harris hoarding Doritos on her couch is what’s stealing the show. It’s moments like these that humanize politicians, making them feel a little more like the rest of us—people who, when faced with overwhelming news, turn to comfort food.

Kamala’s Dorito confession is bizarre and undeniably effective to voters who don’t care about real issues like the price of gas, food, energy, and more.
