As the pivotal race for the US White House heats up between former Republican president Donald Trump and Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, Nassau Candy has sought to capture the moment with an exclusive line of confectionery, reports Neill Barston.
With 81 year-old incumbent president Joe Biden dramatically pulling out the race last month for the chance to lead the world’s largest economy for a second term, he has backed his deputy to succeed in his place this November.
This summer has seen a remarkable chain of events in the US, with Donald Trump, who surviving an assassination attempt in early July, as it looked likely he was to square off against Joe Biden, and had opened-up a lead in the polls following a debate between the pair in which the serving president had struggled to perform.
This in turn led to internal calls for him to step down from facing the pressures of being the oldest serving US president ever should he have been re-elected in November – but after sounding out his closest aides, he stepped down just a few weeks ago – which has attracted global media attention, with Kamala Harris potentially now set to become the first woman of colour to lead the US, should she gain victory in what is poised to be a close contest later this year.
In the wake of this historic development, Nassau Candy, which specialises in private label confections in America, is seeking to capture the moment with its chocolate bars and mint tins as part of its exclusive AmuseMints 2024 Election Collection.
As the company explained, the series taps into the excitement of election campaign, with an assortment of candidate-themed chocolate bars and mint tins. Many feature imagery of the top presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, and now Kamala Harris.
“This year’s presidential election has everyone talking,” commented Andrew Reitman, Executive Vice President, National Brand Confections for Nassau Candy. “Our AmuseMints’ 2024 Election Collection helps retailers get in on the conversation, featuring the top candidates and bold, topical art sure to stand out from the competition.”
Joining the AmsueMints’ election assortment is the Harris 2024 1.75 oz Chocolate Bar, featuring a patriotic red, white, and blue theme with Harris’ campaign slogan, When We Fight, We Win. There’s also the Harris 2024 3 oz Milk Chocolate Bar in Box and Harris 2024 0.56 oz Slider Mint Tin with brilliantly-colored, instantly-recognizable illustrations of Kamala Harris.
