McDonald's Clarifies Its Position On The 2024 Election Following Trump's Visit
HuffPost
"We are not red or blue — we are golden," the company said in an internal memo.
McDonald’s has issued a statement clarifying where the American fast-food giant stands on the upcoming 2024 election following former President Donald Trump’s campaign stop at one of its restaurants over the weekend.
Trump on Sunday worked the fry station and handed out orders to supporters who were prescreened by the Secret Service at a McDonald’s location in Bucks County in Pennsylvania, a key battleground in this election. His visit was widely seen as a way to poke Vice President Kamala Harris, as the former president has baselessly claimed the Democratic nominee is lying about having worked for the company as a college student.
In an internal memo, McDonald’s made clear it’s not supporting either candidate in this election.
“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue — we are golden,” the company said. “Though we are not a political brand, we’ve been proud to hear former President Trump’s love for McDonald’s and Vice President Harris’s fond memories working under the Arches.”
The company explained the owner of that franchise, Derek Giacomantonio, was contacted by local law enforcement regarding Trump’s intention to visit a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania and welcomed the opportunity to host the former president at his restaurant.
