Would you like fries with that? It has been reported that Former President Donald Trump will be working the “fry cooker” at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania this weekend after raising doubts about Vice President Kamala Harris’ past employment at the iconic fast-food establishment.

“It was a fake story. It was a fake story; the press now refuses to write it because it’s so, you know, this is a simple one. She said she worked at McDonald’s and she didn’t. … It was a lie. She never worked at McDonald’s over the hot French fries,” Trump declared at a campaign event in North Carolina in September according to MSNBC.

At that time, Trump added that he planned to go to a McDonald’s “in two weeks” and said he intends to “work the French fries.” He concluded, “I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald’s than she did if I do that even for half an hour.”

Harris has repeatedly stated that she worked at McDonald’s during her undergraduate years. These claims have been featured in various campaign ads, including one released in August 2024 and during an interview with MSNBC in September, where she claimed she worked at the fast-food giant “while she got her degree.”

However, Snopes has fact-checked that there is no concrete evidence, such as employment records or photographs, to corroborate Harris’ story.
