Feasterville NJ, With just two weeks remaining until Election Day, the race for Pennsylvania’s crucial 19 electoral votes has heated up as former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris make their final campaign pushes in the Keystone State. In a show of lighthearted campaign energy, Trump made an unusual stop at a McDonald’s in Feasterville on Sunday, where he donned an apron and took over the drive-thru window, handing food to pre-selected supporters. 1 in 8 Americans have one thing in common: the experience of working at a McDonald’s restaurant.
Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, is tied in the polls according to a CBS News survey conducted in early September, with both candidates sitting at 50%. As Trump and Harris rally their bases, even fast food chains like McDonald’s have found themselves caught in the election buzz, with Trump claiming Harris’s story of working at McDonald’s during her college years might not be true.
Trump at McDonald’s: A Campaign Stop With a Twist
Trump’s visit to the McDonald’s in Feasterville, Bucks County, was a spectacle for hundreds of onlookers who gathered across the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of the former president. While the restaurant was closed to the public for the event, Trump handed out food to five cars filled with supporters and playfully joked with reporters while working behind the counter. “Now I have worked at McDonald’s,” Trump quipped, adding, “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala.”
Despite the lively event, McDonald’s made it clear that the visit was not an endorsement. In a statement, the company emphasized that they remain neutral, saying, “McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office… We are not red or blue – we are golden.” Franchise owner Derek Giacomantonio, who hosted Trump, also extended an invitation to Vice President Harris.
The Harris McDonald’s Debate
Kamala Harris’s past employment at McDonald’s has become an unexpected talking point in this year’s election. Harris has mentioned her time at the fast-food chain while in college, citing it as part of her working-class background. However, Trump cast doubt on this claim, insisting that Harris has been dishonest about her employment history.
McDonald’s has said it cannot verify whether Harris ever worked for the company, as their records from the early 1980s are incomplete. Still, the Democratic candidate has used her McDonald’s story to highlight her middle-class roots, though no additional details have emerged from her campaign.
Rallies and Town Halls
Following his McDonald’s visit, Trump held a town hall in Lancaster, where he discussed major campaign issues, including inflation, job growth, and fracking. The event was moderated by former ESPN anchor Sage Steele and took place at the Lancaster Convention Center. Later that evening, Trump attended the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the New York Jets.
Meanwhile, Harris continues to campaign vigorously, seeking to solidify support in Pennsylvania as she and Trump remain locked in a tight race. With Election Day fast approaching, both candidates are pulling out all the stops to win over voters in this critical swing state.

Donald hits another one out of the park!
Liberal media losing their minds. That is when u know it was brilliant
I’m not a Trump fan but I can’t wait to see people freak out if he wins. I love seeing adults, both men and women, crying over Trump winning. If Trump wins I bet we are going to see a lot of riots. If Harris wins, the republicans will just go to work to support all the illegals coming into the country.
I can’t believe the level of TDS among my Ridgewood friends and neighbors. They never cite actual policies but spout stuff like “Hitler” and “Evil”.
Yup.
RW started accelerating into a $hit town about 15-20 years ago.
Now you are seeing the fruits of that decline.
yes the other day on Facebook, parents were trying to blame Trump because their kids are little racist POS’s , sorry Ridgewood parent your kids suck because you suck, nothing to do with Trump
Post of the day!
He made the vice president look like a real jackass, as of today she still can’t tell us where she worked at a McDonald’s so bullshit. If she did, they would be a record of it, and nobody forgets where they were first job was
What would you do differently as President Kamala? Answer: Not much. That sums it up right there and why she will lose.
Hey, if she worked at a McDonald’s, prove us wrong shows us from Social Security that you pay taxes when you’re working at McDonald’s unless you’re working off the books or you were using someone else’s Social Security number, come on people stop the bullshit. Yesterday I received information on myself from Social Security, the first eight hours I worked At my first job. And I was in draining and documented. So come on and I’m sure someone at McDonald’s would remember her. It’s not like a few people work there. There’s always a big crew prove it to all of us, and then we will bite our tongues.
If we’re lucky, she’ll be working at mickey d’s in november.
That would require a skill set she does not possess.
maybe she can work in the parking lot….
