JD Vance and Tim Walz Find Common Ground: Diet Mountain Dew

The citrusy soft drink was briefly a political hot button, but it turns out both parties have prominent devotees — and the heartland is the key.

A screen shot of a news interview of a man and a woman sitting outside toasting with bottles of Diet Mountain Dew.

JD Vance, shown here in a Newsmax interview, and his opponent, Tim Walz, are both devoted drinkers of Diet Mountain Dew, a favorite in many Midwestern and Appalachian states.Newsmax Media, Inc.

For a brief moment, it seemed that even Diet Mountain Dew was going to become a wedge issue in the cultural wars. Instead, it may become a unifier.

Both the Republican and the Democratic candidates for vice president, it turns out, are fans of the soft drink. And in a race where so much attention has focused on heartland voters, it makes sense that a regional favorite has entered the conversation.

new book claims that Walz's choice of Diet Mountain Dew was important to Kamala. if so, the NYT article is a campaign piece for Kamala.

"All three candidates did a final interview with Harris at her residence, the book explains, adding that when asked what they wanted to drink, Shapiro and Kelly chose water while Walz chose Diet Mountain Dew."
