Former President Trump quipped in a recent interview that he would “do anything” at McDonald's during a weekend visit to battleground Pennsylvania.
“A friend of mine owns a McDonald's somewhere,” President Trump said Friday in an in-person interview with “Fox & Friends.”
“Oh, I'll go. I'll do whatever it takes,” he added.
During interviews and on the campaign trail, Trump insisted that his Democratic rival, Vice President Harris, does not work at the popular restaurant chain. The comments came after Harris' campaign ran an ad over the summer highlighting her background and outlining her time working at McDonald's.
“I'm going because she lied,” Trump said Friday.
“You think she's never worked at McDonald's?” he was pressed by “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade.
“We know she didn't do that. We looked into it,” the former president said. “They said she's never worked here. She even picked the store. We went to the manager, and the manager has been there all along. You remember that. No, she never worked here.'
Harris has repeatedly stated that she worked at a fast food chain during her undergraduate years.
“One of the reasons I tell you that I worked at McDonald's is because there are people working at McDonald's in our country who are trying to support their families,” the vice president said in an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhl last month. He spoke at “I worked there when I was a student.''
“I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and our responsibility to meet those needs,” she added at the time. Ta.
President Trump's visit to the Golden Arches comes as candidates from both parties pass through key battleground states. With less than three weeks until the election, Mr. Trump plans to canvass voters Sunday in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, about an hour from Pittsburgh.
President Biden won the Keystone State in 2020 by just over 1 percentage point, winning all 19 of the state's Electoral College votes.
In Pennsylvania, Ms. Harris leads by less than half a percentage point (48.7% to 48.3%), according to a Hill/Decision Desk headquarters poll tally.
