The presidential candidate has repeatedly claimed the alleged work experience in an attempt to connect with low-wage workers.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly claimed that she worked at McDonald's while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s. This claim has been reported by multiple reputable news outlets, but aside from Harris' own testimony, there is no independent evidence such as a photo, employment record, or confirmation from a friend or family member to verify the story. Harris has invoked the alleged McDonald's work experience throughout her political career, including in a 2024 presidential campaign ad and during a 2024 appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show." Other prominent Democrats, such as former President Bill Clinton, have also repeated the anecdote. However, some internet users have challenged the claim, with unverified reports that "McDonald's Corporate sources" have no record of Harris working at their locations. Snopes reached out to Harris' campaign and McDonald's headquarters seeking evidence to corroborate the claim, but as of the report's publication, no such proof has been uncovered. Without tangible evidence to independently confirm or debunk the story, Snopes has rated the claim "Research In Progress" as they continue to investigate.
Is she planning to deploy the military against protestors and have them seize the voting machines? Or destroy the departments of Education and Labor? No? Okay, cool, she’s got my vote. Now let’s move on to talking about either (a) how to make sure she wins, or (b) how we can get better behavior out of the Democrats on Gaza and climate policy.
Get this Fox News horseshit out of here, pls and thank you
Can they actually prove anyone worked at McDonalds that long ago? Aside from saving a pay stub for 40 years I don't see how one could prove or disprove such a thing, I doubt the company keeps records of every employee that far back.
When someone tells me they worked a specific job in college, I have never once doubted the truth of that statement. Why would anyone have reason to lie about such a thing? If it was a complete lie, you'd constantly be at risk of being exposed by a close friend who knew the truth, which is WAY WORSE for a presidential candidate. To even explore this as Snopes is pro-Trump.
They need to find someone who actually ate one of Harris’s alleged burgers and can testify that it was at least as good as the ones Trump served in the White House—otherwise why should anyone vote for her?
I worked for Burger King in the 80's and you'd never be able to prove that, either. I worked much longer for Sears in the 80's and I wouldn't be able to prove that, either. This is completely pointless.
I don't even know I'd be able to prove I served in the Army Reserve for six years if it weren't for my DD214.
This is just sad. Whether she lied about McDonald's or not has no bearing at all on who I will vote for in the coming election. In the grand scheme of things this is meaningless. In fact if this is literally all that can be dug up about Harris it kind of speaks highly of her.
At the end of the day we all lose cause essentially elections are coming down to whoever is the lesser of two evils and not someone you stand behind.
Holy shit who gives a fuck? Jesus christ, conservatives. Grow the fuck up. You are all are mentally 12 years old and act like it. What's next? You gonna make a big deal about something she wore once?
Also: let me see if I understand the shifting narrative here. I thought a few days ago, the cons were pretending to concern-troll over how Kamala DID NOT put this on her resume and now they are demanding the long form birth certificate, oops, I mean, the pay stubs, from 40 fucking years ago?
Given how many brazen fucking lies donOLD has told over the course of his "career", how does something like this even rate even if she is lying about working at McDs? I mean this guy used a Sharpie to update a fucking weather map tracking a GD hurricane, while doing the very job he is applying for right now.
Definitely concerning when a story like this lacks solid proof, especially when it’s been repeated so often in the public eye. If Harris did work at McDonald’s, there should be some kind of evidence—employment records, a former coworker, something.
Politicians can sometimes craft narratives that fit their image, whether or not they’re rooted in reality.
But having said that, shit like this can be hard to prove and I don't really care if she lied about working at McDonalds or not. It could have been some other McJob and she may be confused.
what matters is Harris said it to show solidarity to the workers in the US to garner their votes
no matter what party the candidate is from if they are willing to lie to the voters what else would they lie about
Walz overfunding police so they would manhandle protesters that are against an oil pipeline but coming out as an environmentalist is the same thing too
matters who we put in office, and they should be held to a high standard
