McDonald's has found itself in the middle of political campaigns for years. But this time around, the attention is coming perhaps more intensely than ever...
) has long found itself in the middle of presidential politics, from former President Bill Clinton 's frequent pit stops to Donald Trump serving up Big Macs at the White House .The most direct outreach recently has clearly been from Harris. She's talked for years about working at the restaurant during a summer in college doing, among other things, "fries and ice cream.
"There are plenty of moving pieces for McDonald's — there always are," Sean Dunlop, who analyzes the company for Morningstar, told Yahoo Finance. "It's unlikely that being featured prominently in campaign ads or being associated with either party should have a massive financial impact — it will be the policy which follows that ultimately matters.
And this is a larger issue where Harris and the chain could conflict. During her 2020 presidential run, Harris highlighted what she called unlivable wages at McDonald's andThis time around, Harris has reiterated her desire to raise the federal minimum wage, but hasn't commented on policy toward fast food chains specifically.
It brought the company renewed criticism but didn't stop many politicians from being photographed at least occasionally next to the golden arches. He also joked about his own reputation when he told the crowd of Harris, "I'll be so happy when she actually enters the White House as president, because she will break my record as the president who spent the most time at McDonald's."Gun shops that sold weapons trafficked into Washington, DC, sued by nation's capital and Maryland
