Americanswers... on 5 Live! Donald Trump has a small fries issue with Kamala Harris

Americanswers is back on 5 Live to answer your questions as America is just over two weeks away from electing its next president. With so much attention being paid to swing states and how they might vote this year, are we ignoring other states which could be up for grabs? The team discuss which other states could offer up a surprise for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. One of the swing states in focus is Pennsylvania, where Donald Trump offered up fries to customers in a McDonald's branch over the weekend. Kamala Harris says she worked at the fast-food chain in the summer of 1983, but Trump used his visit to say it wasn't true. So, why is McDonald's coming into focus?
