: With the U.S. presidential election just over two weeks away, Democrat Kamala Harris visited two churches on Sunday while her Republican rival, Donald Trump, visited another kind of American temple: a McDonald’s, where he again accused Harris of lying about having previously worked at the fast-food chain.
“At this point across our nation, what we do see are some trying to deepen division among us, spread hate, sow fear and cause chaos,“ she told thousands of congregants at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, in Stonecrest, Georgia. The former president dipped wire baskets of potatoes in sizzling oil before salting them and handing them out to some of his supporters through the drive-through window of the restaurant, which had been closed to the general public. Thousands of people lined the street opposite the restaurant to watch.
The Harris campaign said Trump’s visit also belied his opposition to an increase in the federal minimum wage and his support for a rule that could make it more difficult for workers to win legal claims against the parent company if a franchise owner violated minimum-wage and overtime laws.Harris, who was raised in the teachings of the Black church and sang in a church choir, marked her 60th birthday on Sunday while campaigning outside of Atlanta.
“There’s this narrative about what kind of support we are receiving from Black men that is just not panning out in reality,“ Harris said. “Because why would Black men be any different than any other demographic of voter? They expect that you earn their vote.”
