Trump and Harris Clash Over McDonald's Job Claims

Donald Trump repeatedly challenges Kamala Harris's account of working at McDonald's, calling it a lie, while Harris defends her story as part of her middle-class background.

  • Donald Trump has accused Kamala Harris of fabricating her claim of working at McDonald's during college, calling it a 'fake story.'
  • Harris maintains that she worked at the fast-food chain to highlight her understanding of middle-class struggles.
  • The controversy began after Harris's campaign released a video in August detailing her summer job at McDonald's in 1983.
  • Trump has intensified his attacks, mocking Harris at rallies and suggesting he will work at a McDonald's to prove his point.
  • Media coverage has been polarized, with right-leaning outlets questioning Harris's claims and left-leaning outlets criticizing Trump's focus on the issue.
