Trump serves McDonald’s fries, Harris visits churches in US election swing-state appeals
Donald Trump mocks Kamala Harris with McDonald’s visit – but she calls it sign of desperation
With the US presidential election just over two weeks away, Democrat Kamala Harris visited two churches while her Republican rival, Donald Trump, visited another kind of American temple: a McDonald’s, where he again accused Harris of lying about having previously worked at the fast-food chain.
Both candidates were scrambling for votes in the most competitive states, with Harris, the US vice-president, appealing to early voters in Georgia and Trump, the former president, campaigning in Pennsylvania ahead of the November 5 election.
Harris highlighted the heroism of those who responded to Hurricane Helene, which caused deaths and destruction in Florida earlier this month. She drew a contrast between her vision for America and the harsh rhetoric of the current political climate, although she did not mention Trump by name.
“At this point across our nation, what we do see are some trying to deepen division among us, spread hate, sow fear and cause chaos,” she told thousands of congregants at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, in Stonecrest, Georgia, on Sunday.
Some measured the strength of a leader as “who you beat down” instead of being guided by “kindness and love,” she said, urging congregants to vote for a more compassionate future.
