20.10.2024 โ‡ข The day Trump worked the fry station
โŒจThe 2024 presidential race intensified as both candidates campaigned in battleground states. Trump made headlines by working the fry station and drive-thru at a Pennsylvania McDonald's, seemingly mocking Harris' past claims of fast food work experience. This event dominated media coverage throughout the day. Meanwhile, Harris focused on abortion rights in Georgia during early voting. The U.S. government launched an investigation into leaked classified documents regarding Israel's plans to attack Iran, raising concerns about national security. In Gaza, Israeli strikes reportedly killed dozens in the north. The collapse of a ferry dock on Georgia's Sapelo Island resulted in multiple fatalities, evolving from initial reports of 7 dead to later updates of 7 dead and 3 critically injured.
