In a striking move, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has rolled out an eye-catching billboard campaign aimed at highlighting Donald Trump’s reluctance to participate in upcoming debates.
The campaign comes on the heels of Trump’s recent statements where he adamantly declared, “I’m not going to debate again.” This proclamation was made during a rally over the weekend, stirring up conversations about his commitment to face off against his opponents.
CNN has set the stage for a debate on October 23rd, and Vice President Kamala Harris has already thrown her hat in the ring, confirming her participation.
Meanwhile, Trump has been vocal about his disinterest, portraying himself as a reluctant participant.
His supporters have attempted to downplay Harris’s campaign, suggesting it’s floundering and that’s the reason for the push for a third debate.
However, the DNC seems to believe otherwise.
The billboard campaign, creatively dubbed “DNC Chicken,” is set to make its debut at one of Trump’s rallies in Pennsylvania.
The mobile billboard will be strategically placed so that attendees can’t miss the message.
It’s a clever tactic aimed at turning the spotlight on Trump’s avoidance of debates, while also reinforcing the Democrats’ narrative around accountability and transparency.
Harris’s comments during the last debate still resonate.
She pointedly remarked on Trump’s performance, suggesting that he was outmatched.
The vice president’s team is keenly aware of the stakes involved in these debates, especially considering the historical context of their previous encounters.
