Pictured: Donald Trump's visit to McDonald's in Bucks County

Former President Donald Trump visited a McDonald's in Bucks County on Sunday, just four days after Vice President Kamala Harris made a high-profile visit to the key swing county.

FOX 29's JoAnn Pileggi got a one-on-one interview with the former president during his visit.

FEASTERVILLE-TREVOSE, PENNSYLVANIA – OCTOBER 20: Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump is interviewed by local media as he works the drive-thru line while visiting a McDonald's on October 20, 2024 in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania Visited restaurant.

Will a campaign stop at a fast food restaurant raise sentiment for former President Trump?

His supporters in Bucks County agree, and Trump appeared confident.

Donald Trump waved from the drive-thru window and the several thousand people outside cheered.

“I’ve now worked 15 minutes longer than Kamala,” Trump said.

Trump is pursuing his claim – one he has spread without evidence – that his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, never worked at a California McDonald's while in college, but also said he came to connect with voters .

“What’s the best way to reach voters?”

“I think by just being myself. “I just want to be myself,” Trump replied.

Trump surprised the media with his impromptu drive-in Q&A, and after handing Pileggi a bag of french fries, he answered a few questions.

“Anyway, will you accept the results of the election?” asked Pileggi. “Yeah, sure, if it’s a fair election — a fair election,” Trump said amid a raucous crowd.

Bucks is an important swing county.

Trump's visit comes four days after Vice President Harris' campaign at Washington Crossing, which was attended by senior Republicans who are now supporting her instead of Trump.

On Sunday, there was no shortage of Trump loyalists lining Street Road in Lower Bucks, chanting and holding up Trump signs and flags.

“Patriotism, pro-America first. It's not just Donald Trump. I like him. It’s people coming together for a common cause,” said Jackie Graux, a Trump supporter.

“We wanted to see Trump and we were waiting and we wanted to support the party, support everyone here,” added Joyce Boyd, another Trump supporter.

With just over two weeks to go until Election Day, former President Trump is expected to spend more time here in the commonwealth because it is, in effect, a battleground.
