The election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will come to a close in two weeks on November 5, and both candidates have been working to pull the most votes to ensure their own victory.
“Hello, everybody. It’s my first day at McDonald’s, I’m looking for a job,” Trump said.
Trump was in Pennsylvania on Oct. 20, for a meeting, but prior to this appearance he decided to get a “temporary” job at McDonald’s. He talked about Harris’s supposed occupation as a McDonald’s employee many times, claiming it to be a lie.
“I did. Yes, I did work at McDonald’s,” Harris said. “When I was at school … I did fries. And then I did the cashier.”
Harris made this statement about her employment at McDonald’s as a freshman in college on the Drew Barrymore show earlier this year.
Trump wanted to prove Harris’s assumptions about him wrong and show that he could actually be a fast food employee and serve everyday Americans in the process. He enjoyed the experience while also showing people a fun, lighthearted side of himself people do not normally get to see.
“I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala at McDonald’s,” Trump said.
Politicians like to imitate the average American, because they think if a person can see themselves in a candidate and relate to them, they will vote for said candidate. Candidates want to appear familiar and trustworthy to the public.
Harris will visit Atlanta on Oct. 24, as her first stop with former president Barack Obama, rock star Bruce Springsteen, and actor Tyler Perry. Other musicians have performed for her campaigns including Eminem, Usher, and Lizzo.
“Musk promised on Saturday that he would give away $1 million a day, until the Nov. 5 election, for people signing his PAC’s petition supporting the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment, with its right “to keep and bear arms,” CBS said.
Musk’s lottery has caused a huge stir and could have legal sinkholes, according to the U.S. Justice Department, but it has a large influence on voters in swing states.
Famous musician Kid Rock and former wrestler Hulk Hogan have also made appearances at Trump campaigns.
Twenty-eight million ballots have been cast through mail-in and early in-person votes, according to NBC News. Fifty-two million of these ballots have been requested so far. In 2020, a total of 154.6 million people voted, as seen in the U.S. Census Bureau report.
