With less than two weeks left before the United States presidential election, the candidates were ramping up their efforts to win over voters in key battleground states. Pennsylvania, with its 19 crucial electoral votes, has emerged as a pivotal state, and Republican candidate Donald Trump is wasting no time making his presence felt there.
On Sunday, Trump made a campaign stop at a McDonald’s in Feasterville, Bucks County, following a rally in Latrobe on Saturday. Donning an apron, the former president worked the drive-thru, handing out orders to customers and taking the opportunity to connect with locals.
“It’s a great franchise. It’s a great company,” Trump said of McDonald’s, adding that he has always had a deep affection for Pennsylvania. He joked about his brief shift behind the counter, quipping, “Now I have worked at McDonald’s. I’ve now worked for 15 minutes longer than Kamala.”
LEADERSHIP recalls that the US Vice President and Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, had previously stated that she worked at McDonald’s during her college days, but Trump cast doubt on that claim, offering no evidence to support his skepticism. “She lies about her job applications and she’s told some horrible lies,” he remarked, before pivoting to his own ability to unify the nation. “Unifying? I think she’s the most divisive person I’ve ever seen,” he said in response to a question from CBS Philadelphia. “I think I’m the one that brings everyone together.”
The visit to McDonald’s drew massive crowds, with supporters gathering hours ahead of Trump’s arrival at 1:30pm local time. His appearance was part of a broader strategy to win over Pennsylvania voters, as recent polls showed a neck-and-neck race between Trump and Kamala Harris, each capturing 50% of the vote in the state.
When asked whether he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election, Trump replied through the drive-thru window, “Yeah sure, if it’s a fair election, always.”
