On October 20, 2024, former President Donald Trump visited a McDonald's restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, becoming the first 2024 presidential nominee to work at the fast-food chain. Donning a McDonald's apron, Trump operated the fry machine and interacted with staff and customers. He told reporters, "I'm going for a job right now at McDonald's. I've really wanted to do this all my life, and now I'm going to do it because she didn't do it." His comments appeared to reference Vice President Kamala Harris, with Trump stating that McDonald's has no record of her ever working there. Large crowds gathered outside the restaurant to witness the event.
