Democrats Target McDonald’s for Price Gouging After Trump Served Customers

Wendell Husebø 22 Oct 2024

Senate Democrats attacked McDonald’s on Tuesday for price gouging while it continues to “grow” profits and serve the needs of customers.

The letter, written by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), underscores the success of former President Donald Trump’s campaign stop on Sunday when he worked a McDonald’s drive-thru window in Pennsylvania.

Images and video of the former president helping customers to McDonald’s finest foods nearly broke the internet. Many of Trump’s critics heralded the gesture as great retail politics and a stroke of political genius.

Senate Democrats, however, appeared very upset by Trump’s success.

In a letter addressed to McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski, the senators sought information about the fast-food restaurant’s “increases in fast food prices over the last several years and seeking information regarding McDonald’s pricing decisions.”

The letter made no mention of the policies implemented by the Biden-Harris administration that fueled inflation.

McDonald's stock sinks after CDC reports E. coli outbreak linked to quarter pounder

McDonald's (MCD) shares sank nearly 10% in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the company's quarter pounder burgers had been linked to an E. coli outbreak in some states, with most illnesses in Colorado and Nebraska.

"This is a fast-moving outbreak investigation," the CDC wrote on its website. "Most sick people are reporting eating Quarter Pounder hamburgers from McDonald’s and investigators are working quickly to confirm which food ingredient is contaminated."

The CDC said McDonald’s has stopped using fresh slivered onions and quarter-pound beef patties in certain states while a source of illness is confirmed.

One person has died from the outbreak, the agency said, and 10 hospitalizations have been reported across 10 states. McDonald's did not immediately respond to Yahoo Finance's request for comment.
