New York CNN —McDonald’s has been thrust into in the 2024 election, gaining particular attention over the weekend when former President Donald Trump served fries at a Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, location.
Although franchise owners have to abide by certain guidelines in their agreements with the parent company, they are free to invite political candidates to serve fries without McDonald’s buy-in.
We are not red or blue – we are golden.”The letter was signed by McDonald’s President Joe Erlinger.
Still, some McDonald’s customers and employees spoke out against the company after Trump’s visit, criticizing McDonald’s for allowing the Republican presidential candidate to campaign at a restaurant.
“He was proud to highlight how he and his team serve their local community and make delicious food, like our World-Famous French Fries,” the company said.
