On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris got an unfortunate 60th birthday surprise — a series of photos of her GOP opponent serving a shift at a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s drive-thru.

The drive-thru stunt was an eleventh-hour effort to troll Harris, who says she worked at a McDonald’s in the Bay Area of San Francisco but has gotten flak from Republicans for declining to provide many details about her time working there. But perhaps more important, it served as part of a broader effort to showcase the GOP nominee’s talent for casual in-person interactions in a dead-heat race where momentum may prove pivotal in getting across the finish line.
