WASHINGTON – Vice President Kamala Harris went viral after asking about a coconut tree . Now, she’s getting her very own coconut ice cream.
MoveOn, a progressive public policy advocacy group, is partnering with Ben & Jerry’s co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield to release a special Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor. They’ll also take an ice cream truck on tour in key battleground states as part of a push to register voters.
The ” Scoop the Vote ” free ice cream truck tour kicks off on Monday in Philadelphia – with Cohen and Greenfield – and will make 20 stops in states that will likely help decide the election, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada. Limited edition pints of “Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee,” a coconut flavored ice cream layered with caramel and topped with red, white and blue star sprinkles, will be raffled off at the stops .
Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn, exclusively told USA TODAY the tour is an effort to engage voters – particularly ones who aren’t necessarily planning to vote – to register or cast their ballot in the 2024 presidential election.
