Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters in Nevada on October 10, "Do you know what I am doing next week? I am going to a McDonald's to work! I think I’m going to a McDonald’s in two weeks actually and I’m gonna work the french fries because I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald’s than she did if I do that even for a half-hour."

Harris reverted to Trump's statement during an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle and said, "Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family. I worked there as a student."

Meanwhile, Harris has repeatedly said over the years that she worked for the faster food joint while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s, including in a campaign ad released in August and in an interview with MSNBC in September, according to the New York Post.
