In a surprising turn on the campaign trail, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump visited a McDonald's franchise in Philadelphia, engaging with staff and making fries while wearing an apron, according to Al Jazeera. Meanwhile, Vice President and Democratic contender Kamala Harris spent her Sunday engrossed in worship services in Atlanta, seeking to bolster her support.
Al Jazeera reported Trump's McDonald's trip seemed a riposte to Harris's anecdote of working at a fast-food restaurant during her college years. Harris celebrated her 60th birthday with notable events, including a performance by musician Stevie Wonder at Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro, Georgia.
During her campaign stop in Georgia, Harris spoke about the challenges facing the nation, emphasizing unity in the face of division. Her statement, "At this moment, our country is at a crossroads and where we go is up to us," underscored her message of leadership. On a previous Michigan visit, Harris reiterated her call for peace in Gaza. The U.S. election looms large, with Trump seeking a second term and Harris aiming for her first.
