Trump and Harris have intensified personal attacks as the election approaches in key states. In a dramatic escalation of their campaign strategies, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have intensified personal attacks as they traverse key battleground states just 16 days before the election.
In Pennsylvania, Trump took a playful jab at Harris by serving fries at a McDonald’s, attempting to undermine her narrative of having worked at the fast-food chain years ago. Meanwhile, in Georgia, Harris fired back via Twitter, branding Trump as “exhausted, unstable, and unfit” for the presidency.
As both candidates focus on critical states that could determine the election outcome, polls indicate a neck-and-neck race, particularly in seven pivotal battlegrounds. The heated exchanges reflect the high stakes and mounting tensions as the election draws closer.
Trump and Harris Engage in Feisty Exchange Over Fast-Food Jobs
In a strategic campaign stop in traditionally Republican-leaning Lancaster County, Trump zeroed in on economic and immigration issues, which his team believes resonate with undecided voters. He emphasized the economy as a critical concern but asserted that border security takes precedence, claiming it’s the “number one thing” voters want to discuss.
Earlier that day, Trump made headlines at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, a Philadelphia suburb, where he donned an apron to learn how to make fries and served meals at the drive-through. The restaurant was closed to patrons during his visit, allowing him to showcase his culinary skills without interruptions. “I like this job,” he quipped, referencing his fondness for the chain’s iconic menu items.

Trump used the opportunity to reiterate his attacks on Harris, accusing her of “lying” about her experience working at McDonald’s. He mockingly claimed, “I’ve now worked [at McDonald’s] for 15 minutes more than Kamala.”
In response, a spokesman for Harris characterized Trump’s antics as “desperation,” arguing that he lacks understanding of ordinary work experiences, having inherited wealth. The campaign also defended Harris’s claims, noting her summer job at a McDonald’s in 1983, where she operated various machines and worked the cash register.
While some reports questioned her employment there, a high school friend confirmed that Harris indeed worked at the fast-food chain during that time. This back-and-forth underscores the intensifying rivalry as both candidates seek to solidify their narratives and sway voters in the final stretch of the campaign.
Trump and Harris Rally Support Amid High-Stakes Election Climate
Trump and Harris Rally Support Amid High-Stakes Election Climate. On Sunday, Kamala Harris marked her 60th birthday with a pointed interview on MSNBC, where she addressed Donald Trump’s derogatory comment at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, calling her a “[expletive] vice-president.” Harris stated that such language “demeans the office” and asserted that Trump “has not earned the right” to return to the presidency.
Earlier, while speaking to a congregation of Black churchgoers in Atlanta, she urged voters to reject “chaos, fear, and hate,” which she linked to her Republican opponent. At another rally, she labeled Trump as “cruel,” further emphasizing her campaign’s contrast to his rhetoric.
In a related development, Elon Musk, the billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, announced a controversial plan to give away $1 million a day to voters who sign his petition supporting the U.S. Constitution. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed concern over the legality and ethics of Musk’s pledge, suggesting that law enforcement should investigate the matter.
At Trump’s town hall in Lancaster, the audience reacted positively to his promises regarding border security and inflation. One attendee, Jordan Ashby, expressed uncertainty about his vote, highlighting the difficulty of choosing sides in a politically divided family. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Brennan Zeyak, voting for the first time, cited inflation as a pressing concern influencing his support for Trump.
As both candidates prepare for the final stretch of the campaign, Harris plans a whirlwind tour through Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, while Trump is set to visit hurricane-stricken Asheville, North Carolina, before rallying in Greenville. The stakes are high as they make their last appeals to voters in these critical states.
