Trump's McDonald's Visit Sparks Mixed Reactions

News summary

Former President Donald Trump made a campaign stop at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, where he worked the fry station and drive-thru, in an event that drew mixed reactions from the media and public. McDonald's emphasized its neutrality in the political race, stating the event was not an endorsement but an instance of their open-door policy. The visit also reignited Trump's claims, without evidence, that Vice President Kamala Harris lied about working at McDonald's during college, which Harris has affirmed. Conservative media praised Trump's engagement with voters, portraying it as a relatable move, while some liberal outlets criticized the event as a superficial stunt. McDonald's has invited Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to visit their franchises, maintaining their stance of non-partisanship. The company highlighted the widespread experience of working at McDonald's, noting that such roles are a common part of many Americans' lives.
