As Donald Trump calls her a liar, Kamala Harris confirms working at McDonald's during her college years: 'It was not a small job'
During a rally in Arizona, Donald Trump questioned Kamala Harris's claim of having worked at McDonald's, calling her a "liar." However, in a recent interview, Harris confirmed she did have a summer job at the fast-food chain during college, an experience she says helped her understand the financial struggles of everyday Americans.
Donald Trump, during a rally in Arizona this September, took aim at his political opponent in the upcoming Presidential elections with an unusual claim: "She's a liar. She doesn't work at McDonald's. She said she worked at McDonald's, right? She worked at McDonald's. And she was working so hard. There's only one problem. She didn't work at McDonald's. She's a liar." He adds, "She never worked at McDonald's but it was a big part of her resume."
So, what's behind all this talk about Kamala Harris and her alleged stint at McDonald's?

In a recent interview with MSNBC, Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris shared that she worked at McDonald's during her 20s as a summer job while in college. "It was not a small job," Harris said, highlighting the importance of such work. "There are people who work at McDonald's in our country who are trying to... raise families and pay rent."

Reflecting on that experience, Harris said it helped her better understand the financial challenges faced by everyday Americans.
She emphasised, "Part of the difference between me and my opponent is our perspective on the needs of the American people and our responsibility to meet those needs."
