**Trump Counters Harris' McDonald's Claims by Working Fryer at Philadelphia-Area Location**

Former President Donald Trump took a surprising step on Sunday by working the fryer at a Philadelphia-area McDonald's. This move came as a direct counter to Vice President Kamala Harris' recounting of her own experiences working at the fast food chain during her college years. Trump’s actions seem aimed at ridiculing Harris' narratives as the race towards the presidential election heats up.

Trump's appearance at McDonald's was part of a busy day lined with campaign activities. He was scheduled to address supporters at a rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, before heading to watch the New York Jets take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in an NFL game later that evening.

Meanwhile, Vice President Harris spent her day in battleground Georgia, delivering speeches at two congregations. Her remarks emphasized the importance of voting, likening it to a "sacred right," and encouraged traditional Democratic voters to make their voices heard.

Harris marked her 60th birthday on the same day, with a special rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung by Stevie Wonder during the service at Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro, near Atlanta. Reflecting on the moment, Harris described it as a significant bucket list achievement. She also participated in an interview with MSNBC's Al Sharpton that is set to air later.

Harris and Trump's running mates also actively engaged with voters in various states. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is running alongside Harris, focused his efforts on encouraging voter turnout in Michigan, yet another crucial battleground state. On the other hand, Ohio Senator JD Vance, Trump's running mate, made appearances around Lambeau Field in Wisconsin, meeting voters at a bar and a tailgate party.

Trump's stint at the McDonald's fryer was punctuated by his remarks through the drive-through window, where he reiterated his conditional acceptance of the election results, expressing doubts about the system's integrity. Responding to a question about Harris being a potentially more unifying candidate, Trump retorted by calling Harris "the most divisive person I've ever seen" and accused her of lying about her job experiences.

Interestingly, Trump did extend a rare birthday wish to Harris through the drive-through window, albeit with a quip about potentially sending her flowers or fries. Harris' campaign adviser, Ian Sams, dismissed Trump's McDonald's antics as a sign of desperation, emphasizing the differences in their backgrounds and experiences.

Trump further added fuel to the political fire by labeling several prominent Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as "enemies from within." Despite his harsh words, he clarified that he would not seek retribution against his opponents, distancing himself from previous statements that might have suggested otherwise.

As the electoral season continues, both campaigns are ramping up their efforts to mobilize voters and solidify their narratives, setting the stage for a highly charged contest.
