The Fake News Media would have you believe that the presidential election took place on Nov. 5, 2024. That is a lie.
The election was over on October 20. That's the day Donald Trump donned an apron, slid open the McDonald's drive-thru window, and served America's best fries to hungry Pennsylvanians. "I'll never forget this experience," he told the Washington Free Beacon after manning the fry station.
Neither would America. Because at that moment, Kamala Harris's campaign was finished.
"I'm feeling very confident that Donald Trump is going to win this election," critically acclaimed election forecaster Bill Mitchell said after Trump's McDonald's visit. For good reason.
Trump's McDonald's shift was the most talked-about campaign event of the cycle.
And it was all thanks to three intrepid Free Beacon journalists: Andrew Kerr, Chuck Ross, and Joe Simonson.
The "McDonald's Three," as their fans call them, were the first reporters to investigate Harris's claims of having worked at McDonald's while in college in the early 1980s. "I did fries" is how she put it. But something just seemed off about the story—even aside from the fact that she's a well-documented liar.
So the McDonald's Three began hunting for evidence that Kamala ever toiled under the Golden Arches.
What they found was stunning: nothing. They found no evidence at all—not in Harris's books, not in third-party biographies, not in the 1987 government job application she swore included her last 10 years of work experience—that she ever actually worked at McDonald's. Naturally, Trump took notice.
He mocked Harris's missing job on Instagram. He mocked it at his rallies. He mocked it everywhere. Then, to twist the knife even further, he worked the job himself. He actually "did fries."

And just like that, the election was over.
We will do our best to ensure that Kerr, Ross, and Simonson don't spend too much time reveling in their success. After all, there are many enemies of freedom in the world, and few hours in a day to stop them. For now, though, they should take a well-earned victory lap—and do so as Washington Free Beacon Men of the Year.
