PENNSYLVANIA — Former President Donald Trump's itinerary for his weekend campaign trip to Pennsylvania includes working at a McDonald's and attending Sunday's Pittsburgh Steelers game, according to reports.

Trump will hold a rally Saturday at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe near Pittsburgh, then apparently extend his stay in the state. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Trump will work as a fry cooker at a Pennsylvania McDonald's on Sunday. The reason? To spotlight his repeated and unsubstantiated allegation that his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris never worked at a McDonald's while in college as she often has claimed.

The Inquirer said it's unclear where Trump's McDonald's appearance will be, but a stop at a Pittsburgh restaurant would be appropriate. The Big Mac was invented in the city in 1967, and the Big Mac Museum is located in Irwin, just minutes away from the Latrobe rally location.

Trump also will attend Sunday night's football game at Acrisure Stadium between the Steelers and the New York Jets, according to a tweet from Jennifer Borrasso, a reporter for KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh. Jets owner Woody Johnson is a staunch Trump supporter who was appointed U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom when Trump was president.
