RALEIGH, N.C. — During a visit to North Carolina, not only did we find out more about President Joe Biden's plans on investing in infrastructure and the economy — but we also found out what kind of milkshake he likes.
On Thursday, President Biden and NC Governor Roy Cooper stopped by a popular fast-food chain native to North Carolina -- Cook Out.
A White House Reporter from the Wall Street Journal said President Biden ordered a “black and white” shake and said it’s “triple thick”. He said it was vanilla with chocolate syrup. He went back to the window and asked for a spoon.
Before heading out, Gov. Cooper said “You’ll need that” (referring to the spoon).
