JD Vance was barred from entering a Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar location in North Versailles, Pennsylvania — despite Kamala Harris' campaign being allowed to stop at a different location of the chain eatery.
Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance missed out on a Pittsburgh culinary landmark after he was apparently kicked out from meeting with supporters inside — despite the same restaurant chain allowing the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign to meet its supporters there. A source familiar with the campaign told Fox News Digital that when the vice presidential campaign stopped by Primanti Bros.
The Trump campaign's frosty reception at the restaurant chain contrasts how the Harris-Walz campaign was treated just a month earlier when they visited a Primanti Bros. location in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. Harris' campaign made a stop at the Primanti Bros. location on Aug. 18 – much to the chagrin of locals, who were kicked out of the restaurant. 'I wanted to watch some sports and enjoy an afternoon lunch,' Mark Dodson previously told Fox News Digital.
Before leaving, Vance addressed the crowd of supporters that had gathered outside the establishment. 'We paid for everybody’s food, we gave them a nice tip and, of course, when I gave a nice tip, I said no taxes on tips,' Vance said, referring to a Trump proposal. 'It’s all right, don’t hold it against ,' he said. 'She just got a little nervous, but it’s a great local business. Let’s keep on supporting it.
Fox News Digital reached out to Primanti Bros.' main office in Pittsburgh, and was directed to a representative’s email address. That representative did not immediately respond.
