The lead-up to the 2024 Presidential Election was fraught with tension, name calling and disagreements. That was especially true on social media. Locally, it involved one of the District’s most famous chefs and a Maryland congressman who is also one of Donald Trump鈥檚 biggest supporters.
On Monday, 1st District Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) posted and noted that the vice president told ABC’s “The View” there wasn鈥檛 anything she would have done differently during her time in the White House.
In response, chef and humanitarian Jos茅 Andr茅s said He added Harris was telling lies and using hateful rhetoric and that Maryland deserves better.
. I will retire and run for your seat鈥ou are a disgrace making so many lies and hateful rhetoric..Maryland deserves better specially in my favorite state in the USA鈥�..Maryland!

Harris鈥� response to the threat was pretty dismissive.
鈥淗e ought to be a comedian,鈥� Harris told 草莓传媒. 鈥淎 Montgomery County liberal, socialist, Democrat is not going to win in the 1st Congressional District.鈥�
The 1st District includes Maryland鈥檚 entire Eastern Shore, and loops around into the Baltimore area. It鈥檚 a seat Harris has held since 2011.
A representative for Andr茅s said the chef wasn鈥檛 available to comment, but he reportedly texted a little bit with Washingtonian Magazine, for any House seat. Instead, he said he would consider running for a U.S. Senate seat.
Andres made , but he also told Washingtonian if he did run, it would be as an independent, citing both parties’ inability to pass progressive immigration reform.
鈥淧eople can say whatever they want on social media,鈥� said Harris. 鈥淚f he wants to 鈥� move into the 1st Congressional District from liberal Montgomery County, he can do that. He won鈥檛 be well received.鈥�
