Well, folks, just when you thought Kamala Harris couldn’t get more out of touch with reality, she went on The Drew Barrymore Show and dropped her latest gem: how to eat McDonald’s in the car without making a mess. Yes, this is what one of the most powerful people in the country is focusing on these days—fast food hacks. Because apparently, that’s what’s on the minds of everyday Americans struggling with inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, and an unrelenting border crisis.
But don’t worry—Kamala’s got you covered. Her foolproof strategy for staying “clean” while stuffing your face with a Quarter Pounder? A garbage bag. That’s right, the Vice President of the United States proudly explained to Drew Barrymore how she turns a trash bag into a “massive bib” while eating in the car. Nothing says, “I’m ready to lead the free world,” like wrapping yourself in plastic to avoid ketchup stains.
“When I was campaigning and being in the car all the time, we would just cut open a garbage bag,” she told Barrymore.
“Tuck it in, and it’s just a really great, massive bib,” she said.
Now, in fairness, Harris is no stranger to fast food—she’s been on the campaign trail for years, and it’s understandable that drive-thrus happen. But this little revelation just feels like one of those “I’m just like you!” attempts that, frankly, falls flat. While most of America is concerned about the price of groceries or finding a second job to pay rent, Kamala is here telling us how she manages to keep her campaign suit spotless with a garbage bag during a McNugget run. Priorities, right?
As if that wasn’t enough, we also got a trip down memory lane with Harris proudly recalling her days working at McDonald’s. Because, of course, nothing says “relatable” like casually bonding with The Drew Barrymore Show co-host over your shared history of flipping fries decades ago. It’s almost as if she’s trying to remind us, “Hey, I’ve worked a real job too!” But let’s be real—most people would rather hear what she plans to do about actual problems like inflation, crime, and immigration, not her favorite fast food memories.
MSNBC is asking all of the important questions: “At any point in your life, have you served two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun?”

But back to the real meat (pun intended) of the story: Kamala’s McDonald’s order. Apparently, she’s a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries kind of gal, and when it comes to McNuggets, barbecue sauce is her go-to. Oh, and let’s not forget her bold take on ketchup packets. According to Kamala, McDonald’s ketchup is “especially thick,” and you should always “hold on to some extra packets because you just don’t know.” Wise words from the second-highest office in the land, folks.

To top it all off, she ended her fast food masterclass by reassuring the audience, “I am here to help.” Well, Kamala, if by “help” you mean showing us how to turn a trash bag into a bib, we appreciate the effort. But maybe—just maybe—it’s time to focus on helping with something a bit more important than ketchup packets and car-eating etiquette. After all, we’ve got bigger fish to fry.
