Vice President Kamala Harris laughed and insisted she wasn’t “eating gummies” when asked how she was dealing with the stress of the campaign trail Monday night.

With just over two weeks until the 2024 presidential election and the race tied, Harris spent the evening in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, alongside Republican Liz Cheney, who has become one of Harris’ fiercest supporters.

Both Harris and Cheney were interviewed by Maria Shriver, former first lady of California under Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who asked the Democratic candidate what she is doing to de-stress.

Shriver began: “Everyone I talk to says I have to turn off the news, I can’t read anything. I’m meditating, I’m doing yoga, I’m so anxious I don’t even know.” I’m eating gummies and all kinds of things.

He then asked Harris: ‘What are you doing?’

The crowd laughed and Harris guffawed: ‘Don’t eat gummies!’

While Harris may not eat gummies, marijuana is legal in the state of Michigan, something Harris supported nationally last week.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris said she had smoked marijuana in college.

However, Harris admitted that she was feeling the pressure of the ongoing campaign.

“Nowadays, I usually wake up in the middle of the night, to be honest,” the vice president admitted to an audience of supporters.

Harris told Shriver that Americans should not despair and that everyone in a democracy has the ability to make a decision about the future through their votes.

“Let’s not feel helpless,” he said. ‘That is not in our nature.

“In a democracy… the people, every individual, has the power to make a decision about what this will be like,” he said. “So let’s not feel helpless.”

“We are rising to a moment and standing on the broad shoulders of people who have fought this fight before for our country,” Harris added.

‘Let us then look at the challenge that is presented to us and not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by it. Now the witness is in our hands to fight for and not against.’
