What a marketing coup by the US Democrats – and just one day before their party convention! The Democratic National Committee (DNC) projected anti-Trump slogans onto the Trump Tower in Chicago on Sunday. Messages like “Trump Vance, weird as hell” and “Harris Walz fighting for you” lit up the facade in English and Spanish. This was reported by the US news site NBC News.
According to DNC spokesman Abhi Rahman, “This week, the whole country will see what it looks like when we unite behind hope and a clear vision for a better future, as the Democrats gather behind Vice President Harris and Governor Walz. While Donald Trump and JD Vance only fight for themselves, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are fighting for you.”
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to the Democrats’ advertising. Other projected messages included “Trump-Vance out for themselves” and “Harris Walz joy and hope.” Rahman added, “All eyes are on Chicago, and tonight everyone will get a preview of the contrast that will be at the center of this week’s Democratic convention.”
The Democratic convention starts on Monday with several speakers leading up to President Joe Biden’s address in the evening, symbolically passing the baton to his vice president. Biden is expected to endorse Harris as the best choice to complete the work he started and “save” US democracy from Trump. Harris will formally accept the presidential nomination on Thursday.
Donald Trump will hold a series of campaign events this week, leading to direct comparisons with his political rival. The Republican National Convention took place last month, just days after the Capitol attack.
