A suburban Philadelphia bakery’s cookie “poll” that began throughout the 2008 presidential marketing campaign as a joke between the house owners and their clients has grown into far more.

Lochel’s Bakery in Hatboro is swamped with orders. Individuals are driving from a pair hours away to purchase the cookies in particular person and cargo orders are coming from as distant as Alaska.

The bakery sells 4-inch (10-centimeter) spherical sugar cookies, one with blue and white sprinkles and a Harris 2024 label on it and the opposite with purple and white sprinkles and a Trump 2024 label on it. The sale of every Harris 2024 cookie counts as a vote within the ballot for Democrat Kamala Harris and likewise for Republican Donald Trump.

“Which we do whenever Trump is up for election,” stated Moran, who lives close to the bakery. “He’s my sweetheart, I love him so much.”

This yr, election cookie gross sales are outpacing 2020’s gross sales.

“These cookies are being shipped all over the United States right now, so much so that they’re on back order, so we’re about three to four weeks back,” Lochel stated.


Cookies with Harris and Trump labels

For now, the bakery ensures shipments will arrive by Election Day on Nov. 5, Lochel stated. Prospects are driving from a pair hours away can get them sooner, she stated.

It might not damage enterprise that Lochel’s is within the battleground state of Pennsylvania. It additionally might not damage that Lochel’s is within the closely populated and average suburbs of Philadelphia, the place Trump and Harris are vying for assist.

Trump’s numbers might have gotten a lift after he shared a narrative concerning the cookie ballot on his social media platform. As of Tuesday, Trump was main Harris, 12,558 to 889—a far larger lead than pollsters have discovered.

The election apart—with its assault adverts, name-calling and social media barbs—the cookie-buying public has been completely nice and constructive.
