The Chicken Big Mac Is Coming, Is New Jersey Ready?
Get ready New Jersey. If you're a fan of the golden arches, the Big Mac and the McChicken sandwich, then you might enjoy what's coming this month to a McDonald's store near you in the Garden State.
Big Mac lovers, brace yourselves. The long-awaited Chicken Big Mac is finally making its debut in the U.S. After years of only being available in other countries, McDonald's is giving American fans what they’ve been begging for. Starting October 10, you can grab this reimagined classic at select locations for a limited time. The buzz is real, and it all started with a secret pop-up in L.A. that had fans flipping out.
So, what’s the Chicken Big Mac? It's everything you know and love about the Big Mac – special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and a sesame seed bun – but instead of beef patties, you get two crispy, tempura-battered chicken patties. It's a new spin on an old favorite, and McDonald's is betting it's going to be a hit.
The Big Reveal at McDonnell's by Chain
McDonald's secretly dropped a dupe version of the Chicken Big Mac last weekend at an L.A. pop-up called McDonnell’s by Chain. It had all the makings of a viral moment: two chicken patties, signature sauce, beef tallow fries, deep-fried apple pie, and soft-serve ice cream. The event was one day only, and fans were obsessed, unknowingly eating a sneak preview of the Chicken Big Mac before it was officially revealed. Talk about a plot twist!
Livestream Hype with Kai Cenat
To celebrate the launch, McDonald's has teamed up with internet sensation Kai Cenat, a Big Mac superfan, to get to the bottom of a critical question: Is a Chicken Big Mac still a Big Mac? Kai and his friends will be going live all month long to try the new sandwich, so keep an eye on McDonald’s social channels to see their reactions. Spoiler: It’s bound to get chaotic, fun, and probably a little messy.
Mark Your Calendars
October 10 is the big day. You’ll finally be able to get your hands on the Chicken Big Mac, but only at participating locations while supplies last. Whether you're a Big Mac purist or excited to try this chicken twist, it's time to see if the Chicken Big Mac lives up to the hype. Don’t wait too long though—it won’t be around forever!
So, what do you think? Is the Chicken Big Mac still a Big Mac, or is it something completely new? We’ll leave that up to you to decide. But one thing's for sure: it's not not a Big Mac!

Dr. Jim Sweetland, who was present at the rally, shared his memories of the chaotic moments after the shooting, which nearly took Trump's life and claimed Comperatore, a firefighter and father of two.
Sweetland, who performed CPR on Comperatore, described the rally as initially festive before gunshots rang out, and Secret Service quickly surrounded Trump. Sweetland recalled hearing a call for help and acting immediately, believing he was guided by a higher power. He spoke of meeting Comperatore's wife at the scene and expressed his desire to meet the family again at Trump's return rally to honor Comperatore's heroism. Trump is expected to pay tribute to Comperatore and other victims of the shooting at the upcoming event.

The doctor who attempted to save the life of a man killed during former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania relived the July assassination attempt in an interview Saturday, as Trump prepares to return to Butler in the coming hours.
A gunman openedfireon the former presidentat the rally in Butler, nearly assassinating Trump and killing a rally attendee, Corey Comperatore. Jim Sweetland, a doctor who was also in attendance at the rally, spoke to Fox News on Saturday about his attempt to saveComperatore’slife in the aftermath of the shooting and called Comperatore — who was a firefighter and father of two — a “hero.”
“It was like a rock and roll concert. It was a beautiful sky, like today,” Sweetland told Fox, recalling the moments at the rally before the shooting. “Shots rang out … shortly after that, Trump was just surrounded by a pyramid of Secret Service within an instant.”
“I heard a woman, probably about 40 feet [away] … call out, ‘He’s been shot, he’s down,'” Sweetland said. “At that point — I hesitated. But then I heard a voice … that said, ‘Go! Go! They need your help. What are you waiting for? I thought at first it was [someone else’s voice] … I really believe now it was God.”
Sweetland went on to describe his attempt to save Comperatore’s life, telling Fox that he immediately performed CPR and cardiac compressions on Comperatore before asking others to help lift him so that he could be transported to additional medical care.
Police intervened at that moment to help, Sweetland said, before revealing he had met Comperatore in the past.
“I had met Corey before, and I locked eyes with his wife … all I could do was blurt out to her, ‘He’s going to get the help he needs,” Sweetland said. The Fox reporter then told him that Comperatore’s wife and family would be present at the upcoming rally. “I would love to meet them. I would love to say that their father died a hero. Because in split seconds, he gave his life for them, he threw his body over them so that they would not be shot… I’ve heard a lot that Corey was a victim. And he wasn’t. He was a hero. He gave his life willingly to protect them.”
Sweetland said he will be in attendance at the upcoming Trump rally in Butler on Saturday. Trump plans to honor the memory of Comperatore and his family during the rally,accordingto CNN, as well as the other two victims of the shooting who survived.

Biden-Harris Administration Faces Delays in $42 Billion Internet Expansion InitiativeThe Biden-Harris administration has faced significant delays in its efforts to expand broadband internet access, despite allocating over $42 billion from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The initiative aimed to provide internet to underserved, rural areas, but three years later, no projects have commenced. Regulatory hurdles, including requirements for internet providers to engage in green initiatives and employ unionized labor, have delayed federal subsidies, which are not expected to reach projects until 2025.
Republican lawmakers, including Senator John Thune, have criticized the program's lack of progress, noting that no individuals have been connected under the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program. Additional challenges have come from lengthy state application processes and disputes over pricing for low-cost plans. The slow pace has drawn comparisons to other infrastructure initiatives, such as the electric vehicle charging program, which has also faced delays. The U.S. Department of Commerce has not responded to requests for comment on the program's status.
Biden-Harris Admin Threw Over $40 Billion At An Internet Buildout — Three Years Later Not A Single Project Is Underway

President Joe Biden’s 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) earmarked tens of billions of taxpayer dollarsfor expanding broadband internet, yet, more than three years later, not a single project is underway.
The $1.2 trillionlawearmarked over $42 billion toprovideinternet access in unserved, mostly rural areas, with Biden once describing theinitiativeas “not unlike what Roosevelt did with electricity.” However, not a single project funded by the initiative has broken ground, with federal subsidiesnot expectedto reach projects until 2025, largelydueto a slew ofregulatory hurdles, such as requirements for internet providers to participate in green initiatives and employ unionized workforces.
“In 2021, Kamala Harris became the ‘Broadband Czar’,” Republican South Dakota Sen. John Thunewrotein a post on X on Sep. 24. “Three years and $42 billion later, not one person has been connected to the internet under the BEAD [Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment] program.”
Another challenge comes from applicants havingto demonstratehow the internet plans they provide using the federally subsidized infrastructure will be affordable for Americans with household incomes at or below 200% of the poverty line. Virginia’s application process, for example, took more than 10 months due to a dispute between the state and federal government over a price cap for low-cost plans.
The White House’s pace of implementationhas drawn scrutinyfrom Republican lawmakers, with the House Energy and Commerce Committee launching an investigation into the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s handling of the initiative. The broadband expansion program has also drawn comparisons to the Biden-Harris administration’s electric vehicle (EV) charger expansion initiative, that, as of April 2024, hadbuiltjust seven stations despite the $7.5 billion the November 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law allocated it.
The EV charger expansion program was delayed in part due to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) requirements, with the Department of Transportation saying applicants should promise to engage in “intentional outreach to underserved communities” byhosting“neighborhood block parties.”
“The Biden Admin has been layering a partisan political agenda on top of this $42.45B program — a liberal wish list that has nothing to do with connecting Americans,” Brendan Carr, the former head of the Federal Communications Commissionwrotein a June X post. “Climate change mandates, tech biases, DEI requirements, favoring government-run networks + more.”
The U.S. Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
