As the race for the White House intensifies, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris made appearances in critical battleground states on Sunday, each vying for support just weeks before Election Day. Trump took his campaign to suburban Philadelphia, where he made a stop at a McDonald’s, while Harris rallied voters at churches near Atlanta, Georgia, marking her 60th birthday with iconic performances by Stevie Wonder.
During his McDonald’s visit, Trump donned an apron and joined employees in the kitchen, helping fry and salt French fries in what many saw as a photo opportunity aimed at resonating with working-class voters. “It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast,” Trump quipped, adding, “I like this job.” The visit was also a pointed jab at Harris, as Trump has previously questioned her claims of working at a fast-food chain during her college years, though no evidence has surfaced to support his challenge.
Meanwhile, Harris spent her day attending two worship services in Georgia, a key swing state. At Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro, the Vice President was serenaded by Stevie Wonder, who performed hits like Higher Ground and a rendition of Redemption Song. The music icon also sang Happy Birthday to Harris, adding a personal touch to her rally.
Earlier, at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, Harris delivered a powerful speech, highlighting the importance of unity in the face of division. Without directly mentioning Trump, she warned about forces that aim to spread hate and chaos in the current political landscape. “At this moment, our country is at a crossroads, and where we go is up to us,” Harris told the congregation, drawing applause from the audience.
As Election Day nears, both campaigns are doubling down on efforts in pivotal states like Pennsylvania and Georgia, where polls show a tight race between the two candidates. Trump, speaking to reporters in Pennsylvania, hinted that he would respect the results of the election, but only if he believes it’s “a fair election,” fueling speculation that he may contest the outcome should he lose.
Later on Sunday, Trump continued his campaign with a town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, before attending a Pittsburgh Steelers game. Both candidates are expected to maintain an aggressive schedule in the coming weeks, focusing on key states such as North Carolina, Arizona, and Ohio.
