Ben & Jerry’s co-founders are bringing Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream to Wisconsin
Watch: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump shake hands at 9/11 memorial
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump shook hands at the 9/11 memorial service at Ground Zero.
On the heels of the first Ben & Jerry’s shop opening in Wisconsin, the founders of the ice cream chain are launching a Kamala Harris-inspired pint as part of nationwide ice cream truck tour that will stop in Wisconsin next month.
MoveOn, a progressive public policy advocacy group, is partnering with Ben & Jerry’s co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield to host the ice cream truck tour, which will swing through more than 20 cities in battleground states, according to a MoveOn news release. That includes four different stops in Wisconsin.
Along with doling out free ice cream, the “Scoop the Vote” tour will host local officials and activists, help register voters and guide people through making a voting plan.
The Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor is under Cohen’s “Ben’s Best” label and not affiliated with the Ben & Jerry’s brand. Cohen told USA TODAY he got involved in the election because he wants to “get a common decency at a minimum in the White House.”
“I want someone who supports people of all races, all genders,” Cohen said. “And I think Kamala is a person who supports people. She doesn’t try to make herself bigger by putting other people down.”
Here’s everything we know about the new Kamala Harris ice cream and how you can try it in Wisconsin.
What are the Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavors?
In a nod to one of Harris’s most famous quotes, Cohen concocted “Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee” in support of the vice president.
Coconut tree emojis and memes became ubiquitous with the Harris campaign this summer after a clip went viral of her saying, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”
“Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee” is a coconut-flavored ice cream layered with caramel and topped with red, white and blue star sprinkles. You can sign up online or at the tour stops to enter a raffle for the limited edition pints.
MoveOn will also serve several other electorally themed ice cream flavors, including, “Unburdened by What has Vanilla Bean,” “Inauguration Celebration Birthday Cake,” “Fight For Our Rights Sorbet,” and “MoveOn Mobilizer Milk Chocolate.”
Where in Wisconsin is the truck stopping?
The 22-city ice cream tour kicks off Monday, Sept. 16 in Philadelphia, with Cohen and Greenfield in attendance at the first stop. The tour will then move west, logging four stops in Wisconsin in early October.
Here’s when and where the ice cream tour will visit Wisconsin. Time and specific location has not yet been announced for these stops.
- Milwaukee: Wednesday, Oct. 2. RVSP here.
- Green Bay: Thursday, Oct. 3. RSVP here.
- Appleton and University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh: Friday, Oct. 4. RSVP here.
- Madison: Saturday, Oct. 5. This stop will also include a rally in support of the Harris-Walz campaign. RSVP here.
Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn, told USA TODAY the tour is an effort to engage people who were not necessarily planning to vote in the election this fall.
“There’s a ton of folks that are already tuned into this election, and then there’s a vast, vast set of folks that aren’t,” Epting said, adding that even non-political activities, like getting ice cream, can engage Americans.

The war in Iran was a costly blunder, according to swing voters in the battleground state of Wisconsin.
NPR observed two online focus groups on Tuesday featuring voters who supported Joe Biden in 2020 and then Donald Trump in 2024.
President Trump had just announced a framework agreement to end the war, which he signed on Wednesday.
Yet among the focus groups’ 13 participants, no one said they thought the conflict with Iran was “worth it,” and nine said they felt that the U.S. is coming out of this conflict weaker than before.
Corey M., a 33-year-old independent voter, said he is concerned that the U.S. expended “so much financially and so much of our arsenal,” with little to show for it. (All participants agreed to be part of the focus groups on the condition that they be identified by their first name and last initial only.)
“We essentially got nothing out of it,” he said. “It’s hurt our economy and increased expenses for the everyday American, and it accomplished the square root of nothing.”
Focus groups are not scientifically significant like polling. But they provide insight into how Americans are thinking about what they see in the news.
These focus groups — made up of 10 self-described independents, two Democrats and one Republican — were conducted by messaging and market research firms Engagious and Sago as part of the Swing Voter Project. NPR is a partner on the project.
Rich Thau, president of Engagious, moderated the focus groups. He has been asking voters in key states about this conflict since March. And he said voters have been consistent.
“They were never on board,” Thau said. “Not the beginning. Not in the middle. And as we just learned, not at the end either, judging from what we heard from Wisconsin swing voters.”
Sam M., a 30-year-old independent, said from what he read about the deal, it wasn’t leaving the U.S. in a better position than before the war. In fact, he said he thought the Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration — which Trump backed out of — was a better deal for the United States.
Anger over high gas prices
For most voters, though, their biggest concern has remained the high gas prices that are a consequence of the war.
Tammy S., a 53-year-old independent voter, said Americans have been unfairly caught in the middle.
“I just don’t think the way that everybody else had to suffer through the tantrums of these two playing tug-of-war — I just don’t think that it was fair to the American people,” she said. “I don’t think that anybody was a real winner here.”
Several voters said they’ve felt squeezed by costs and as a result have given up something that had been a regular part of their life. They’ve cut vacations and eating out or are getting their hair done less often.
“I’ve given up all my extracurricular hobbies … paddleboarding, yoga,” said Jaylyn M., a 27-year-old who identifies as a Republican. “And then a lot of my subscriptions I’ve cut out, along with my daily coffee, which is minor, but all things that I’ve had to give up to make ends meet.”
“I had to raise all my deductibles on everything — my car insurance, my health insurance — to lower my premiums, so that I can continue to make it,” added Robyn T., a 63-year-old independent.
Trump owns the economic problems
The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll, out Thursday, finds that only a third of Americans approve of how Trump is handling the economy.
In the focus groups, nine of the 13 voters said they are more anxious about the economy than they were before Trump took office last year. And all but one voter said that “President Trump himself is responsible for those higher prices” because of the war.
“And 10 said he’s out of touch with their economic concerns,” Thau told NPR. “So for them, there’s a clear disconnect between how the president’s operating on the economy and what their needs are.”
And heading into what could be some tough midterm elections for Republicans, voters are really frustrated that Trump isn’t delivering a better economy by now.
“It seems to me, like, pick your issue, and things are not going well for him,” said Josh K., a 29-year-old independent voter. “I mean, we got this stupid war in Iran, and it turns out that we actually aren’t getting anything out of it. I mean, all we got was $4 gas. I mean, pick your issue — the economy, things are more expensive.”
