Democrats Leverage Harris and Emhoff's McDonald's Experience to Connect with Voters

Campaign highlights working-class roots to contrast with Trump's privileged background

Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff's past work at McDonald's is featured prominently in campaign speeches and ads.
The narrative aims to make Harris relatable to the 13% of Americans who have worked at the fast-food chain.
Speakers at the Democratic National Convention contrasted Harris's and Emhoff's backgrounds with Donald Trump's wealthier upbringing.
The strategy is part of a broader pro-worker narrative under President Biden's administration.
Former President Bill Clinton humorously noted Harris might break his record for time spent at McDonald's.
