Following the results of the 2024 US presidential election, Houston, Texas-based Three Brothers Bakery has announced that its 2024 Presidential Cookie Poll has officially closed and Donald Trump has been declared the winner.
The bakery’s final tally was Trump at 51.5 percent, Kamala Harris at 43.8 percent and the bakery’s mascot Gingy at 4.7 percent. Each week's totals have been posted on the bakery’s Facebook page, and the winning reels are found on all the bakery’s social media channels – Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Three Brothers Bakery has been letting guests “vote their tastebuds” since the June 2024 presidential debate, with results dramatically changing after Harris took the top of the ticket. Former president Trump was winning by a landslide, but after President Biden stepped aside, Harris began catching up.
This year the bakery offered the opportunity to vote across the entire country as it was shipping the cookies for the first time with a minimum order of six cookies. By opening it up nationwide, the bakery hoped its “scientific poll” would be a true reflection of the feelings of the entire country vs. just Houston.
The cookies are still available for shipping, online for pickup and starting Friday at any of its four stores.
