House Speaker Nancy Pelosi revealed to French President Emmanuel Macron last week her habit of eating a hot dog every day in the Democrats’ dressing room.
Pelosi made the comment during a state dinner Friday at the White House while speaking with Macron and his wife, as well as President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, was also reportedly in attendance, steering the conversation to American cuisine, according to The New York Times.
The younger Pelosi has reportedly pushed Biden to reveal his favorite American staples.
“He said, ‘Hot dogs, ice cream and spaghetti,'” Alexandra said. She then reported that her mother stepped in to say that she eats a hot dog on Capitol Hill every day. Macron and his wife reportedly appeared puzzled by the comment.

However, Biden stayed up late with the guests of honor, with the president reportedly sipping a can of liquor and chatting with Macron until almost 1:00 a.m
The state dinner was held in honor of Macron’s multi-day visit to the US, during which he and Biden reaffirmed the close friendship between the US and France.
The pair held a joint press conference on Thursday, which detailed not only their common goals but also some differences. Macron and other European leaders have expressed frustration with Biden’s anti-inflation law, which they say could have a negative impact on the European economy.
While Biden didn’t apologize for the legislation, he did acknowledge some changes could be made. White House officials have insisted the anti-inflation bill does not undermine the president’s promise to Europe that “America is back” as a reliable ally.

“There’s a lot we can work out, but the gist is that we’re going to make sure the United States can go ahead and just as I hope Europe can go ahead, not having to rely on someone else’s supply chain. We are our own supply chain. And we share that with Europe and all our allies. And they will actually have the opportunity to do the same,” Biden said Thursday.
