US Vice President Kamala Harris has often referred to her time when she used to work at McDonald's early in her life during school days which reflects her understanding of the struggles of working families. According to The Telegraph, Donald Trump has argued claiming that it was a lie to gain favor from the voters and he also asserted that he confirmed with the manager of a McDonald’s restaurant that Kamala Harris was never an employee there.

The Telegraph reported that McDonald's authority has made themselves distanced from this debate with the statement that they are not able to verify this information due to lack of employee records from the 1980s of this brand. McDonald’s employees have been instructed to avoid the discussion at the location from where the claim comes from.

Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has also responded with the reiteration of her story focusing on her time in this fast-food brand to support her working family. The Telegraph noted that Kamala Harris also mentioned in an MSNBC interview that she was in McDonald's because it was very common to work at McDonald's back in days while growing up to support working families.

This certain claim got scrutinized intensely when Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump took a publicity stunt by serving French fries at the McDonald's in Pennsylvania.
