In a bid to coax Donald Trump back onto the debate stage with Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats plan to launch a new messaging campaign dubbing the former president a “chicken” for saying he won’t debate again.
The Democratic National Committee will launch static billboards and mobile billboards.
The chicken billboards, which will first appear at Trump’s rally Monday in Indiana, Pennsylvania, include a digitally altered image of Trump in a chicken suit alongside the words “There’s no debate: Donald Trump’s a chicken.”
An allied Democratic group will also stage inflatable chickens resembling Trump outside of his rallies.
Harris and Trump met for their first debate, hosted by ABC News, this month in Philadelphia.
The pair sparred over immigration, inflation and abortion, but just two days later, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “There will be no third debate!”
While Harris and Trump met on the debate stage just once this cycle, Trump also debated President Joe Biden in June when he was still in the race.
On Saturday, Harris’ campaign announced that she’d accepted CNN‘s invitation to participate in a debate on Oct. 23.
