If elected this fall, Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff would bring many "firsts" to the White House, including being the first couple to have worked at McDonald's, a connection they share with 13% of Americans. By highlighting their humble beginnings in food service, Democrats aim to boost their working-class appeal, contrasting it with former President Trump's privileged background. This strategy fits into a broader populist narrative, with leaders like AOC proudly embracing their working-class roots. Democrats hope this relatable image will resonate with voters, especially as the party leans into its pro-worker stance. 
It’s definitely a bold way to connect with voters!
