In a whirlwind weekend packed with campaign activities, former President Donald Trump made notable appearances in Pennsylvania amidst the political climate leading to the 2024 elections. Trump began his weekend by stopping at a highly anticipated NFL game featuring the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers, seemingly drawing a large crowd and media attention.

On Saturday, October 20, Trump visited a McDonald's in Lancaster, where he engaged with customers by working the fryer and serving French fries. This unusual campaign stop was strategically significant, as it coincided with Vice President Kamala Harris's celebration of her 60th birthday, during which she visited Black churches in Atlanta. During his McDonald's appearance, Trump made headlines by creating a playful narrative questioning Harris's past employment at the fast-food chain, claiming she had not worked there—a statement without evidence.

Trump's antics included conducting a drive-thru news conference, showcasing his signature style of merging light-heartedness with unabashed political rhetoric. He used this platform to criticize Harris, delivering her birthday message in jest while maintaining momentum in the battleground state of Pennsylvania which is vital for both candidates.

Following his McDonald's stop, Trump capped off his weekend by attending the NFL matchup and later holding a town hall meeting in Lancaster, emphasizing his casual approach to campaigning while keeping his opponent's movements in play. The dual strategies of making light of the election process while engaging with voters in relatable environments highlighted Trump's continued efforts to resonate with American voters ahead of the upcoming election season.

Yardbarker - 114 days ago - New York Jets offensive lineman Xavier Newman was taken to the hospital after suffering a neck injury during his team’s Sunday night contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pa. The Jets had a 2nd-and-10 play from their 23 down 16-15 to the Steelers in the third quarter. Aaron Rodgers threw a pass that Garrett Wilson bobbled, resulting in an interception by Beanie Bishop.

Trump Serves Fries Under the Golden Arches, Drawing Attention to Harris's Questionable Claim

Washington Free Beacon - 114 days ago - FEASTERVILLE-TREVOSE, Pa.—In a made-for-TV effort to raise questions about one of his opponent's central campaign claims, former president Donald Trump worked a short shift at a Bucks County, Pa., McDonald’s on Sunday afternoon. Speaking through a drive-thru window at a Feasterville-Trevose McDonald’s franchise, Trump, sporting a McDonald’s apron, told reporters, "Now I have worked at McDonald’s. I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala, she never worked here." He was referring to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris's claim to have worked at the fast-food chain for a summer during college. While her campaign originally said she worked there "to pay her way through college," Harris was forced to dial back that claim and has since said she worked the job for extra cash.
