With millions of Americans across the country casting ballots, Vice President Kamala Harris stopped by a phone bank at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.
She was met with cheers from the staff when she walked into the room — and even more when she announced she came bearing snacks: Doritos, a reference to an anecdote that she ate an entire family-size bag of the popular flavored tortilla chips in 2016 when Donald Trump won the election.
“I just wanted to come by and thank everybody for all you are doing,” Harris said. “This truly represents the best of who we are, just reaching out to folks, letting them know that we’re all in it together, reminding them of the power of their vote, to use their voice, this is just the best, and I just thank you all so very much.”
The vice president then remarked that she was “interrupting” someone who was on the phone, to laughter from the room, before someone handed her a cellphone.
