Kamala Harris's McDonald's Job Claim Sparks Election Controversy

The debate over Harris's alleged summer job at McDonald's has become a focal point in the presidential campaign, with Trump and supporters questioning her claims.

  • Kamala Harris claims she worked at a McDonald's in Alameda, California, during the summer of 1983 while a student at Howard University.
  • Donald Trump and his supporters have accused Harris of fabricating the story to appeal to middle-class voters, citing a lack of evidence and inconsistencies in her narrative.
  • McDonald's has stated it cannot confirm Harris's employment due to incomplete records from the early 1980s, and it remains neutral on the political debate.
  • A recent poll indicates that nearly 60% of Americans have doubts about Harris's claim, with skepticism fueled by the absence of corroborating evidence.
  • The controversy has drawn parallels to past political disputes, with some media outlets labeling it as 'burgerism,' akin to the 'birtherism' debate surrounding Barack Obama.
