Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris<\/strong> <\/a>revealed her past McDonald\u2019s gig during her campaign. Following the Democratic National Convention, Kamala touted her former gig at the fast-food chain to exemplify her support for working-class families. But republican candidate Donald Trump<\/strong> <\/a>questioned the California native on her employment. So, did Kamala really work at a McDonald\u2019s in the past?<\/p>\n

During a September 2024 MSNBC interview<\/a>, Kamala explained why she revealed her past fast-food job amid the race to the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald\u2019s is because there are people who work at McDonald\u2019s in our country who are trying to raise a family,\u201d she pointed out. \u201cI worked there as a student.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kamala has claimed that she worked at the famous American restaurant chain to support herself while attending Howard University in Washington D.C. in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs,\u201d the former prosecutor added, referring to Donald. \u201cGone is the day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American dream. So, part of my vision for the economy is let\u2019s deal with some of the everyday challenges that people face and address them with commonsense solutions, such as affordable housing.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is currently no public record of Kamala\u2019s past McDonald\u2019s job, and the restaurant has not publicly responded to questions about her employment.<\/p>\n

During his campaign, Donald appeared at a McDonald\u2019s in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, in October 2024. As seen in multiple social media videos, he served French fries at the drive-thru. However, the customers who accepted the orders were pre-selected, according to multiple outlets.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a photo of a what appeared to be a flyer from the McDonald\u2019s that Donald visited made the rounds on social media. It revealed that the franchise location had been shut down for several hours to \u201caccommodate a visit at the request of former president Donald Trump and his campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are not a political organization, we proudly open our doors to everyone and, as a locally owned and operated location, this visit provides a unique opportunity to shine a light on the positive impact of small businesses here in Feasterville,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n

The flyer, which was signed by operator Derek Giacomantonio and his \u201cteam at Feasterville McDonald\u2019s,\u201d also noted, \u201cWe\u2019re equally honored to share the significance of what one in eight Americans have experienced: that a job at McDonald\u2019s is more than just a job. It\u2019s a pathway to critical skills development and meaningful career opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Did Donald Trump Say About Kamala Harris\u2019 McDonald\u2019s Job?<\/h2>\n

During his campaign, Donald doubted that Kamala ever worked for McDonald\u2019s. On multiple occasions, including when he visited the Feasterville location, the Republican candidate claimed that Kamala lied about her past job.<\/p>\n
