Trump makes fries, works drive-thru window at McDonald's

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump went to a McDonald's in suburban Philadelphia on Sunday (October 20), and tried working french fries station and drive-thru window. The former president told the owner of McDonald's in Bucks County that he was "looking for a job" and had always wanted to work at the fast food restaurant. He then removed his suit jacket, put on a black and yellow apron and proceeded to cook batches of french fries. Surrounded by cameras, Trump dipped wire baskets of potatoes in sizzling oil before salting them and handing them out to customers through the restaurant's drive-thru window. Thousands of people lined on the street opposite the restaurant to spectate. "This is fun. I could do this all day," said Trump, whose adoration for fast food has been well-chronicled. Trump has said the McDonald's visit was intended in part as a jab at Harris, who says she worked at the fast food chain during her college years. Trump claims that Harris never worked there but has not provided evidence to back that up. Campaigning in Georgia, Harris told Reuters that the stunt was a sign of the real estate mogul's desperation. The photo-op turned into a news conference with journalists outside yelling questions at Trump through the window. Harris will need strong results in the majority non-white cities of Detroit and Atlanta and their surrounding suburbs to repeat President Joe Biden's 2020 wins in Michigan and Georgia. The former president is seeking to take advantage of what he felt was an improved position for him in opinion polls that show a deadlocked race. Some voters already have sent mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, the biggest prize on Election Day among battleground states. (Production: Pavithra George)
