Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed in an interview that she had worked at McDonald’s in the past, in response to former President Donald Trump’s claims that she never did. Harris emphasized the importance of recognizing the experiences of people working at McDonald’s and the challenges they face in raising a family. She also highlighted the differences between her and Trump’s perspectives on meeting the needs of the American people, particularly in terms of economic policies.
Trump has criticized Harris’s anecdote about working at McDonald’s as a “fake story” and has proposed tax policies such as ending taxes on overtime pay and tips. Harris, on the other hand, supports more affordable housing solutions as part of her economic vision.
Harris shared personal stories about her mother working hard to achieve homeownership, emphasizing the challenges many Americans face in achieving the American dream. A recent NBC News poll showed that while 50% of registered voters believed Trump would be better at dealing with the economy, 41% chose Harris. The poll results had a 3.1-percentage-point margin of error.
Overall, Harris’s remarks in the interview highlighted her background, priorities, and policy differences with Trump in terms of addressing the economic needs of the American people.
