The US election is approaching in two weeks, and there have been notable events over the weekend. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, made a surprise visit to a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, jokingly saying he was looking for a job at the French fry counter. After changing into a McDonald's uniform, he made his first batch of fries and briefly worked the drive-through. He humorously remarked that he enjoyed the job and might return to do it again. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris celebrated her 60th birthday at a church in Georgia. Later, legendary musician Stevie Wonder appeared at another church to sing "Happy Birthday" for her. In other news, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, announced a giveaway of one million dollars daily until the election. He invited people to sign an online petition in support of the constitution. However, experts have raised concerns that this could potentially influence voting behavior , which would be illegal in the US. These events illustrate the colorful landscape leading up to the election.
