ATLANTA/PHILADELPHIA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Democrat Kamala Harris will kick off her 60th birthday on Sunday with two church visits in Georgia, where she plans to rally early voters, while her Republican rival, Donald Trump, spends time at a McDonald's fast food place in Pennsylvania.

Harris and Trump, who are essentially tied in the race president in the most competitive states, have sharpened their attacks in recent days, while drumming up support for early votes by mail or in person with just 16 days left until the Nov. 5 election. After being joined on Saturday in Detroit by hometown rapper Lizzo and in Atlanta by pop icon Usher, Harris will get a birthday boost from another music legend, Stevie Wonder, on Sunday when he drops by one of the churches she plans to visit.

Vice President Harris and former President Trump, 78, are focusing on Pennsylvania, Michigan and a handful of other states likely to decide the election, where both parties have strong support and electoral results have been close in past cycles. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, will double down on Sunday on a "Souls to the Polls" initiative aimed at using gospel performances, national and state faith leaders, elected officials and others to mobilize voters.

Harris, who was raised in the teachings of the Black church and sang in a church choir, will attend a service and speak at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, about 30 miles (50 km) east of Atlanta, the campaign said. She will also speak at Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro, just south of Atlanta, where she plans to encourage worshippers to exercise their voting rights. Wonder will attend and is slated to perform.

1. Maybe tsf will fall into the French fryer

9. If he has dress shoes on and the floor is greasy, it could happen.

I think if he does anything around the fries, it would be shaking salt on them. Even a buffoon like TSF should be able to do that.

2. I'm not a religious person...

...yet I was moved by some of what I heard Kamala say at the church while it was on MSNBC. And as she appeared to be wrapping up, they cut to Ali Velshi, which was disappointing.

From what I heard, one thought kept popping in my head: She is going to be president.

10. I think she would do a good job in the White House.

She is very intelligent without being an arrogant know-it-all. She would surround herself with knowledgeable advisers and listen to them. And I believe she cares about people far more than TSF could even if he wanted to.

3. You can't make this s**t up!

He is going to his favorite ‘restaurant’ to cook up a batch of fries!

6. I'm trying to envision an apron being used

(I expect that ain't happening )

[sheshe2]

7. He will eat not cook 😆

11. Who the fuck puts a napkin on the PLATE?

I saw him do the same thing in a picture of him having a bucket of KFC on the plane?

13. His ketchup is ready

Just in case.

4. Performative Art is not new to election strategy, but this is a new level

Trump, after escalating personal attacks on Harris on Saturday, told Breitbart News he would work at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania on Sunday “just for fun” to mock Harris. Trump adviser Jason Miller said Trump would be working in the french fries area of the restaurant.

They can even have jd at the restaurant, asking tRump how long he's worked there!
Just a thought -- would McDonald's corporate allow this, insurance-wise?

5. Why the Dotard doesn't release his medical records

[PSPS]

8. "essentially tied in the race president"

Sure, if you include the planted republican-leaning polls in the purported "average." Bannon's "flood the zone with shit" principle in action, much to the delight of the horse race-hungry media, which has its own clicks and other sponsor revenue to keep ion mind and keep it financially afloat.

12. Red Plate Special? Bet he didn't pay.

[Kablooie]

14. Wow. He pretended to work at McDonalds?

Well that convinces me!
I’m voting for Donald Trump now!
