Celebrity chef José Andrés could trade the kitchen for Congress if he follows through on a threat to challenge a Maryland Republican, saying the state deserves better. I will retire and run for your seat, Andrés, the famed restauranteur and founder of the emergency food relief nonprofit World Central Kitchen, wrote Monday on the social platform X in response to a message posted by Rep. Andy Harris.
The Maryland Republican had written that under President Biden and Vice President Harris, overall prices were up 20 percent. Reminder: Kamala Harris said theres not a thing shed change from President Bidens term in office, said the House member, no relation to the vice president.
When asked during an interview last month if she would have done anything differently from Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee replied that not a thing comes to mind.
You are a disgrace making so many lies and hateful rhetoric, Andrés wrote in a post directed at the seven-term congressman. Maryland deserves better specially in my favorite state in the USA
Maryland! Andrés, 55, said. The humanitarian, who was born in Spain, told ITK in a 2022 interview that he wouldnt rule out a potential future political run.

(47,035 posts)But Jose Andres is popular enough to make it competitive.
Among other idiotic positions, Andy Harris wants to recriminalize Marijuana for some reason.

(555 posts)The only reason he wins is because the gerrymandering is so ridiculous it takes a slice out of rural Harford County where we live, and then most of the Eastern Shore and other deep Red pockets in between. For those of you who may not know, Harris was Ben Carson's anesthesiologist. A pair made in Hell.

(11,309 posts)I'd move to the Eastern Shore to vote for him! I mean, Heather Mizeur gave Andy a good run for his money last cycle, but the Eastern Shore just wasn't ready to send a lesbian farmer to Congress. But someone like Jose Andres? Heck yeah!
