Trump campaign flexes ‘dominating’ election cookie poll at Pittsburgh bakery
A bakery near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is conducting its own presidential poll with cookie sales for each candidate.
Oakmont Bakery started its election cookie poll in the early 2000s. With less than three weeks until former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off on Election Day, the bakery said customers have bought more than 21,000 Trump cookies versus around 6,200 Harris cookies.
Customers could also pick a neutral candidate cookie, which has more than 9,000 sales.
“President Trump is DOMINATING cookie sales at this Pittsburgh area bakery,” Trump’s campaign wrote on X.
This is a longtime tradition for the bakery, which sold more Trump cookies in 2020 and 2016 than his opponents at the time, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. In 2012, the Mitt Romney cookies beat out the Barack Obama cookies.
Pennsylvania has largely voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in past years, including 2020, but flipped for Trump during his 2016 bid. The state has 19 electoral votes, which can give a candidate their lead.
This weekend, Tesla CEO Elon Musk toured the state to campaign on Trump’s behalf. Musk endorsed Trump shortly after the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A RealClearPolitics poll average from Sunday afternoon showed Harris has a slight 0.9-point lead.
