Trump claims Harris lied about McDonald's job during Fox interview

In the United States, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris during an appearance on Fox & Friends. He claimed that she lied about having worked at a McDonald's, asserting, 'We checked it out' and emphasizing that the manager of the restaurant where she purportedly worked confirmed she was never employed there. This exchange arose after Harris’s campaign mentioned her experience at a McDonald's in Alameda, California, from the summer of 1983. However, the campaign later revised the narrative surrounding her job, stating it was for extra spending money rather than to support her college education at Howard University, where she attended after her freshman year. The controversy has heightened as Harris’s claims were scrutinized, and her campaign did not clarify which specific McDonald's she worked at despite the inquiry. Meanwhile, Trump remarked on media scrutiny, suggesting that if he lied about working there, it would lead to significant negative coverage, while Harris criticized Trump for fixating on her job story. The disputes over Harris's employment are illustrative of a broader partisan divide on issues of credibility and narrative in the political landscape.
