Pennsylvania: Donald Trump is bringing McDonald’s into political spotlight during final days of his third bid for White House.

Former US president is expected to visit one of fast-food chain’s Pennsylvania franchises during his campaign stop.

Trump is reportedly planning to take on role of fry attendant, according to CNN.

This move mirrors job Vice President Kamala Harris held as young woman, key part of her middle-class upbringing narrative during her presidential campaign.

Harris worked at McDonald’s while she was student, detail that has featured prominently in her political biography.

Trump, known for his love of McDonald’s, has been fixated on Harris’ employment there.

On campaign trail and in interviews, he frequently casts doubt on her claim, accusing her of fabricating story. His visit to fast-food chain appears to be an attempt to undermine her work history.

“I’m going to McDonald’s to work french fry,” Trump told supporters at rally in Pittsburgh area.

“I think I’m doing it today, and I think it’s in Pennsylvania.”

Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, noted in his memoir that Trump’s appetite for McDonald’s was sign of his recovery from Covid-19. His usual order includes Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, fries and vanilla shake.
