Sen. Cory Booker is a vegan. Sen. Kamala Harris craves french fries. And then there's Sen. Ted Cruz, who once feasted on "machine gun bacon."But for at least the rest of January, the 100 members of the U.S. Senate will have to stick to the impeachment trial diet while they are in the Senate
Sen. Cory Booker is a vegan. Sen. Kamala Harris craves french fries. And then there’s Sen. Ted Cruz, who once feasted on “machine gun bacon.”
There’s one place to get a sugar fix: It’s known as the “candy desk,” which has been assigned to Sen. Patrick J. Toomey, R-Pa., since 2015. It’s on the Republican side of the chamber, in the back row on the aisle — right next to the chamber’s most heavily used entrance. “The companies provide them to the office,” Kelly said. “We take down candy periodically to the staff of the Senate cloakroom.”
The last time there was a impeachment trial in the Senate — in 1999 during the presidency of Bill Clinton, who was acquitted — another Pennsylvania Republican, Rick Santorum, occupied the candy desk.
