DNC Projects Ads on Trump Tower Before Debate

Ahead of the first and only vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance and Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) projected critical messages on Trump Tower in New York City, calling attention to Vance's past derogatory comments about Trump. The projections included Vance's 2016 tweet labeling Trump an 'idiot' and messages such as 'Trump is a chicken!' in response to Trump's refusal to debate Kamala Harris again. The DNC's strategy aims to highlight Vance's controversial ties to Trump's conservative agenda known as Project 2025, which critics argue threatens American freedoms. As the debate unfolds at the CBS Broadcast Center, Democrats are positioning Walz as a favorable alternative to Vance's alignment with Trump's policies. The DNC emphasized the stark contrast in their campaign messages, underscoring Vance's unpopularity and the risks posed by the Project 2025 agenda. This debate marks a critical moment in the 2024 election cycle as both parties rally their bases.
