As the U.S. presidential election looms just over two weeks away, candidates are intensifying efforts to secure crucial votes. On Sunday, Democrat Kamala Harris visited churches in Georgia, appealing to early voters, while her Republican rival, Donald Trump, chose a different path, making a McDonald's in suburban Philadelphia part of his campaign trail.

In an unexpected move, Trump donned an apron and cooked french fries at the fast-food chain, playfully claiming it was a job he had long wanted. Crowds gathered to watch him serve fries, blending his well-known love for fast food with a campaign jab, as Harris had formerly worked at McDonald's during college.

Meanwhile, Harris attended worship services where she emphasized unity and voting, with notable appearances by music icon Stevie Wonder. Stressing the divide within the nation, she urged the public to make decisive choices. Both candidates are focusing on key battlegrounds, eyeing voter support for the upcoming election.
