McDonald's Worker To Garbage Man: Donald Trump's New Tactic To Get Votes?
In an effort to win over swing-state voters, Donald Trump stepped up his campaign in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania by making appearances with a working-class theme. He mocked Vice President Kamala Harris and distributed French fries to hand-picked fans at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania. In Wisconsin, he drove a garbage truck to make fun of President Biden.

Former President Donald Trump served French fries to handpicked supporters at a McDonald's in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, earlier this month, intensifying his campaign efforts in the battleground state. Trump's campaign crew reportedly 'screened the pre-selected visitors' at the franchise, which was closed to the general public for the day. According to an insider who spoke to Fox News, all individuals were inspected and searched when they arrived.
During the gig, Trump made fun of Vice President Kamala Harris by bringing up her claims of having worked at a McDonald's when she was younger. Trump questioned the veracity of Harris' claims, claiming without proof that she made them up to appeal to working-class voters.
“It was a big part of her resume — working at McDonald’s, talking about how tough it was. She made the french fries and talked about the heat, like it was such a hard job,” Trump said at the event, adding, “She’s never worked at McDonald’s.”
Rolls Into Wisconsin in a Garbage Truck to Troll Biden
On October 30 Trump drove a garbage truck with the slogan "Trump Make America Great Again 2024" on it when he made an appearance at a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Trump, donning a luminous orange vest, utilized the act to make fun of remarks made by President Joe Biden, who allegedly made derogatory comments about Trump supporters during a recent campaign event.
"How do you like my garbage truck?" Trump questioned reporters as he got inside the vehicle. "This vehicle is dedicated to Joe Biden and Kamala," he added.
The protest came after Biden made a remark that his critics claimed denigrated Trump supporters. Harris, who was campaigning with Biden, came under fire for the remark as the issue has boiled up in the final days of the election season. Biden was quoted saying, "The only thing's that garbage are his supporters" at a campaign appearance. It came as a response to Tony Hinchcliffe's racial remarks against Puerto Rico in Trump's MSG rally.
Are These Campaign Tactics Effective?
Trump's recent antics have highlighted his defining tactic in a fiercely contested election cycle: staging gatherings to appeal to working-class people and draw attention to alleged Democratic disconnects. His stance as the candidate for America's working class is reinforced by the increased use of gestures that are emblematic of labor-intensive jobs, like as serving meals or operating heavy machinery, to punctuate his campaign appearances.
It is unclear if swing-state voters will be receptive to these out-of-the-box strategies. Trump's recent actions are expected to unite his supporters and anger his rivals in this polarizing environment, but whether they influence undecided voters might be crucial in the closing stages of the campaign.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos survey released last week, Kamala Harris' advantage over Donald Trump narrowed in the closing stages of the U.S. presidential election, with the Democrat leading the Republican by just one percentage point, 44% to 43%. Since she joined the campaign in July, Harris has topped Trump in every Reuters/Ipsos survey of registered voters; but, since late September, her margin has gradually decreased. The current U.S. vice president, Harris, was two points ahead of former President Trump in a previous Reuters/Ipsos survey, which was conducted from October 16–21.
