Trump says he will 'do everything' at McDonalds during Pennsylvania visit
Former President Trump quipped in a recent interview that he will "do everything" at a McDonald's during his visit to battleground Pennsylvania over the weekend.
"A friend of mine owns a McDonald's someplace," Trump said Friday during his in-person interview with “Fox & Friends."
"Oh, I'm going. I'm going to do everything,” he added.
Trump claimed during the interview, and on the campaign trail, that his Democratic rival, Vice President Harris, did not work at the popular food chain. The comments came after the Harris campaign issued an ad over the summer highlighting her upbringing and outlined her time working at McDonald's.
"I'm going because she lied," Trump said Friday.
"You don't think she ever worked in McDonald's?" he was pressed by “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade.
"I know she didn't. We checked it out," the former president said. "They said she never worked here. She even picked the store. We went to the manager. The manager's been there forever. ‘You remember her. No, she never worked here.’”
Harris has repeatedly said that she has worked at the fast-food chain during her time as an undergraduate student.
“Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family,” the vice president said last month during an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. "I worked there as a student.”
"I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs,” she added at the time.
Trump's visit to the golden arches comes as the two party nominees make their way through the key battleground states. With less than three weeks left until the election, Trump will rally voters Saturday evening in Latrobe, Pa — about an hour outside of Pittsburgh.
President Biden won the Keystone State by just over 1 percent in 2020, sweeping all 19 of the state's Electoral College votes.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls shows Harris ahead in Pennsylvania by less than half a point — 48.7 percent to 48.3 percent.
