Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected appearance at a McDonald’s in Feasterville, taking orders at the drive-thru and challenging Vice President Kamala Harris’ claims that she worked at a McDonald’s in the 1980s. Trump, wearing a company apron, insisted that he had now worked at McDonald’s for longer than Harris and took the opportunity to serve customers and interact with reporters. With Election Day approaching and Pennsylvania being a key swing state, Trump’s visit aimed to sway undecided voters and secure the state’s important 19 electoral votes.
Harris has previously stated that she worked at McDonald’s while in college at Howard University, but Trump has questioned the authenticity of her claims. Despite McDonald’s not confirming whether Harris was ever an employee, Trump’s campaign staff sent representatives to investigate, with no former or current employees corroborating Harris’ story. This event at McDonald’s in Bucks County drew crowds of supporters for both Trump and Harris, with chants, signs, and music adding to the festive atmosphere.
The visit highlighted the importance of Pennsylvania in the presidential race, with both Trump and Harris vying for the state’s white working-class voters. Pennsylvania, with its 19 electoral votes, is crucial in the 2024 election. Bucks County, in particular, has a close divide between Republicans and Democrats, making it a key battleground in the state. While Trump has not won Bucks County in the past two presidential elections, he continues to have a strong following in the area. The event at McDonald’s brought excitement and energy to the final days of the campaign, with supporters hopeful for a positive outcome in the upcoming election.
