Celebrity chef José Andrés could be pivoting toward politics in the near future.
Andrés threw down the gauntlet on X against Republican Congressman Andy Harris, saying that Maryland “deserves better.”
“I will retire and run for your seat,” Andrés, the 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.
“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 Maryland Republican had written that under President Biden and Vice President Harris, “overall prices” were “up 20 percent.”
“Reminder: Kamala Harris said there’s ‘not a thing’ she’d change from President Biden’s term in office,” said the House member.
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.”
“And I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,” she said.
Republicans were quick to highlight the remarks.
“Prices are up 20%, millions have crossed our southern border illegally, and our allies around the world are under attack,” Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R), a top Trump ally, posted on the social platform X. “But don’t worry, America. Kamala says she wouldn’t change a thing.”
