McDonald’s said it couldn’t necessarily confirm Vice President Kamala Harris ever took a job at one of its burger joints — but added it was “proud to hear” she had “fond memories” of working there as a teen.
The fast-food giant on Sunday extended an invite to Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to visit one of its restaurants “in order to share how McDonald’s provides meaningful pathways to economic opportunity and feeds and fosters local communities.”
The invite came the same day former President Donald Trump manned the french fry cooker at one of the Golden Arches’ restaurants in battleground Pennsylvania over the weekend.
Trump has accused Harris of lying about her time working at McDonald’s.
“While we and our franchisees don’t have records for all positions dating back to the early ’80s, what makes ‘1 in 8’ so powerful is the shared experience so many Americans have had,” the company said in a lengthy statement that was posted on X.
The “1 in 8” is a reference to an oft-cited statistic indicating that one out of every eight Americans has at one point worked at a McDonald’s.
The vice president claimed she worked the cash register and made fries at a Bay Area McDonald’s location during the summer of 1983 while she was on break from pursuing an undergraduate degree at Howard University.
McDonald’s noted in the statement that it was “proud to hear former President Trump’s love for” its products as well as Harris’ “fond memories working under the Arches.”***

Yeah her fond memories of McDonalds is after she smoked a joint and went on a munchie run.
Big win for Trump in the snapshot battle. Kamala saying to a Christian “You’re at the wrong rally” was huge.
As the manager of the McDonald’s that Kamala worked, i have fond memories of her doing fries and then doing the cashier, and whatever she needed to get a head.
She probably considered going into a McDonalds with her girlfriends of color and going over to the soda machine and filling up her cup as actually working there.
lol
I worked at McDonalds 40 years ago..
Let me see....1....2...3 CLOSE friends worked there with me....I made another 1...2 decent friends that I met there.
Remember their names too...the new friends I made.
The 3 old ones....I could call now and have them confirm.
I assume McD’s would be able to confirm somehow that we all worked there.
Should be easy to prove.
And yes we stole food at the end of the night but they were going to throw it all away anyway!!
Now I feel better.
McDonald’s hasn’t done her any favors here lol. Now if she accepts, she is just following Trump’s lead, and is basically plagerising. If she refuses, she snubs McDonalds.
If she does accept, she should be able to go in there and fling those fryers around like old times, no instruction needed.
What a passive aggressive way of saying “she never worked here.” Kudos McDonalds.
If she accepts she is admitting Trump hit a home run with his appearance.
McDonald’s is overpriced and quality has gone down hill.
Cocks not Glocks is the leftist rallying cry.
Ba ba ba ba ba.....She’s losing it.
Well, she did work for Five Guys one time.
Perhaps she was working under the counter while she worked there? Maybe under her bosses desk?
She should say which restarurant she worked at.
Well, she did enjoy getting big tips…
And if you were a candidate for President of the U.S., your co-workers would remember you.
Copy cats.
I’d be curious to see if such a visit would generate the enthusiasm and energy Trump’s visit did in Pennsylvania yesterday.
Maybe in San Francisco or Oakland.
Well, she *did* say that she “did the cashier.” 😏 (11th paragraph.)
