Harris campaign to taunt Trump with plane banner flying over Alabama football game he’s attending – Washington Examiner
The campaign team of Vice President Kamala Harris plans to launch an advertising initiative aimed at taunting former President Donald Trump for avoiding a second debate. This campaign will coincide with the highly anticipated college football game between Georgia and Alabama, where Trump is expected to be present. Alongside national television ads, a plane will fly over the stadium displaying a banner that reads, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.” Michael Tyler, the communications director for Harris’s campaign, declared that Trump’s decision to skip the debate reveals his inability to present a clear vision for the country. The advertisements will reach both the stadium audience and millions of viewers watching from home, ensuring that Trump is reminded of his absence from the debate.
Harris campaign to taunt Trump with plane banner flying over Alabama football game he’s attending
Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign is set to launch an ad campaign taunting former President Donald Trump for his reluctance to participate in a second debate — and the campaign is making sure he sees it.
The Harris team will air national ads during the Georgia vs. Alabama college football game on Saturday, where Trump is expected to attend to watch the matchup. And those in the stadium will get their own taste of the ad: a plane is scheduled to fly over the stadium with a large banner reading, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.”
“Donald Trump walked off the stage at the first debate angry and rattled after he failed to offer any coherent vision for where he wants to take this country, so now he’s trying to take his ball and go home,” Michael Tyler, communications director for the Harris campaign, said in a statement.
“No matter where Trump looks tonight — whether it’s up in the sky or at the TV in his luxury box — he won’t be able to escape the truth: Trump is running away from a second debate with Vice President Harris because he doesn’t want the American people to see just how weak and unpopular he and his Project 2025 agenda are,” he added.
The banner will be hard to miss for the tens of thousands of fans who are in attendance, and the commercial ad is likely to be seen by millions more.
“Winners never back down from a challenge,” the ad’s narrator says. “Champions know it’s any time, any place. But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home.”
The ads come as Trump has so far declined a second debate against Harris, with one proposed by CNN scheduled for Oct. 23. Harris has accepted the debate, but Trump has not, arguing the date is too late in the election cycle and that some voters will have already cast their ballots.
Trump has participated in debates in mid-October in the last two cycles against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
