Looks like Kamala Harris wants to set the record straight—no election-cycle gummies for this VP! During a town hall in Royal Oak, Michigan, Harris was faced with the burning question: How’s she keeping calm with all this campaign chaos? The moderator, Maria Shriver, even set the scene, saying everybody she knows is “meditating, doing yoga, turning off the news, eating gummies…”
Without missing a beat, Harris broke out her signature laugh and said, “I’m not eating gummies!” Cue audience laughter and an instantly relatable moment for everyone battling stress without herbal reinforcements.
Instead of munching on edibles, Harris opened up about her actual coping routine: waking up in the middle of the night (hey, campaign life is no joke), exercising every morning, and talking with her family. No doubt, family chats and workouts are her real therapy sessions as she tackles the pressures of a presidential run.
With this candid moment, Harris did two things: shot down rumors of relaxation-by-gummy and made everyone laugh a little. And during an election cycle where every soundbite counts, a little humor and transparency can go a long way.
