In response to Donald Trump refusing to participate in another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats have launched a new campaign calling him a “chicken.” The Democratic National Committee plans to use billboards, mobile billboards, and even a staffer dressed as a chicken at Trump’s events.
The billboards show a digitally altered image of Trump in a chicken suit with the words “There’s no debate: Donald Trump’s a chicken.” Despite only having one debate with Harris this cycle, Trump also debated President Joe Biden in June. Harris has accepted CNN’s invitation for a debate on Oct. 23, which Trump attended and praised earlier in the race.
While Trump has expressed a preference for other debate hosts, he reiterated his decision not to participate in another debate, citing the advanced voting in some states. The Democratic National Committee highlighted that in the 2020 cycle, debates took place after voting had started.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded to the new campaign.
