Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served alongside former President Donald Trump, took to Twitter to tweet some love to well-known restaurants during lunch hour.
Under Trump’s administration, the ex-Vice President dined in the White House from 2017 until 2020.
The 63-year-old rarely tweets about personal information, but he made an exception on Wednesday when he quote-tweeted a Twitter user’s take on his relatability among voters.
The Twitter user was responding to a photo posted to Pence’s account on Wednesday, featuring him in line at a Dunkin’.
Pence isn’t the only politician who has publicly expressed his allegiance to a chain restaurant; many Presidents and Vice Presidents have shown their love for rather ordinary culinary ventures.
