“I will never forget this experience,” said Trump after the campaign appearance, with which he primarily wanted to appeal to working-class voters in the important swing state. The job requires specialist knowledge, he emphasized.
The unusual campaign appearance was also a swipe at Trump’s Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, who said she worked at the fast food chain while studying and spoke about this experience during the campaign. Trump, for his part, claims that Harris never worked at McDonald’s and is lying.
When journalists gathered outside the fast food restaurant asked Trump that Harris was celebrating her 60th birthday on Sunday, Trump wished her “all the best.” “I think I’ll give her some flowers,” he said. “Maybe I’ll get her some fries too.”
Harris, for her part, performed at two Atlanta-area churches on Sunday and was sung a birthday serenade by soul singer Stevie Wonder. Instead of talking about her birthday, the Democrat once again made Trump’s age a campaign issue over the weekend. The 78-year-old is avoiding debates and canceling interviews “out of exhaustion,” explained Harris.
Trump has become the oldest presidential candidate in US history since President Joe Biden withdrew from the election campaign.
