Kamala Harris has claimed she worked at McDonald's during her college years, a narrative she has used to connect with working-class voters amid her 2024 presidential campaign. However, significant scrutiny has arisen over this claim, as investigations have revealed no evidence supporting her employment at the fast-food chain, with major sources like Snopes and the Washington Free Beacon finding no records or confirmations. Critics point out that Harris's story, which she began prominently sharing during her 2019 presidential bid, is inconsistently documented, absent from her resumes and biographies. While her campaign asserts that she worked to pay for college, the details of her McDonald's job remain dubious, and many question the timing of her revelation. Additionally, her running mate, Tim Walz, faces his own credibility issues, further complicating the campaign's narrative. The controversy raises broader concerns about the authenticity of the candidates' working-class backgrounds.
