Ohio Bakery With Successful Track Record Predicts Trump Will Defeat Harris in November
An Ohio bakery has been able to correctly predict the outcome of all but one presidential election based solely on cookie sales. So far, they have declared former President Donald Trump the winner.
Cincinnati’s Busken Bakery has gained attention for selling candidate-themed cookies, successfully predicting 39 out of the last 40 presidential elections based on the sales of each dessert.
The only election prediction that the company got wrong was in 2020, when their cookies for Trump outsold cookies for President Joe Biden.
This year, the bakery is offering cookies featuring Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris and a third option called “Cookie Party,” represented by a smiley face, available at all four locations.
Current cookie sales show Trump cookies outselling Harris cookies, 2,953 to 2,134, or 54 percent to 39 percent. The “Cookie Party” has sold 397, or 7 percent.
To “vote,” customers can purchase their cookie online or in-store. Each cookie sale counts as one vote, and there is no limit on the number of cookies a customer buys.
“Our results, out of our four retail stores, kind of cover the north, south, east and west portions of Cincinnati. So they’re pretty diverse,” Busken Bakery CEO Dan Busken told the New York Post. “It’s definitely interesting that in a state like Ohio and in a city like Cincinnati that there’s been such accuracy in this cookie poll over the years.”
While Cincinnati is a Democratic city, Ohio has become a red state. Busken emphasized that the idea is meant to be fun for everyone and hopes that voters will cast their ballots.
We like to joke and say [customers] can stuff the ballot box,” he told the outlet.
The contest was originally created by Busken’s father and predecessor, Page, who had success with similar “polls” the bakery had, including one that went on to predict a Super Bowl outcome.
Busken told the outlet that they hired local artist Jim White to create caricatures of Trump and Harris, which are then printed on cookies for a fun and playful approach. He expressed that some customers are taking it a little more seriously.
“Some people this year — especially more than any prior elections — have been more vocal and, not so friendly about things,” he said. “But we’re moving forward. We’ve done it for 40 years. We think it’s fun.”
While some of the bakery’s partners chose not to sell their candidate cookies this year, Busken said that their sales are still strong.
“We sold a lot more in the first two weeks than we did the last election,” he said. “So I’d say cookie voter turnout has been up.”

Do I need to say it? The bakery is actually 40 for 40, further proving that 2020 was stolen by the Democrats.
Agree! Everyone knows Trump won.
You are so right🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Actually they predicted 40/40 elections.
We all remember how 2020 was stolen.
Let us hope enough states have de-fortified and all the groups working to prevent a repeat of 2020 with respect to stopping the steal are successful.
You don’t win Ohio and Florida, the majority of the bellwethers and then lose unless shenanigans are afoot.
We went to bed and statistically Trump had things on lock them the dirty Dems in several states stopped counting so their agents could take out the boxes of fake Biden ballot dumps and with a statistical impossibility of zero Trump votes in those dumps even in a deep blue or deep red area you still get some votes for the opposition.
In Georgia alone where the margin was much less there is a warehouse full of at least 100k unfolded ballots that were supposedly sent by mail but they are unfolded so they couldn’t be sent by mail.
There were not 40 elections from 1984 to present. There were 10. They got 9 correct.
They actually predicted 2020 correctly as well.
Thats exactly what I thought when i read the article
