As NFL season kicks into high gear and the election cycle enters its final stretch, the DNC took advantage of seven battleground state NFL teams playing each other with special messages reminding voters of Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda. On Sunday, the DNC launched its first NFL paid ad campaign with skywriting above the Pittsburgh Steelers – Las Vegas Raiders game, encouraging spectators to fight for their freedom and “Vote Kamala.” The campaign also included plane banners with messages above the Arizona Cardinals – Green Bay Packers game in Green Bay, the Atlanta Falcons – Carolina Panthers game in Charlotte, and the Cleveland Browns – Philadelphia Eagles game in Philadelphia, reminding voters to sack Project 2025 once and for all and get behind the Harris-Walz ticket and their winning playbook. 

See below for some of the coverage:

Here’s what voters are seeing on the airwaves: 

WBAY (Green Bay, WI): “[DNC] ad campaign flyover during today’s game. The flyover marked the first time an advertisement was displayed by plane in the history of the NFL. It was unveiled by the Democratic National [Committee] as part of a wider national NFL campaign with the goal of meeting voters where they are. The banner read: ‘Sack Trump’s Project 2025. Vote Kamala!’ DNC Spokesperson Stephanie Justice issued a statement on flyover that reads in part, ‘Trump’s Project 2025 agenda is a dangerous plan to give him unprecedented power over Wisconsinites’ daily lives, hike taxes on typical families by nearly $4,000 a year, and give tax giveaways to his billionaire friends.’”

KTNV (Las Vegas, NV): “The Democratic National [Committee] launched its first NFL ad campaign in battleground states. Today, skywriting and flyovers appeared over the Pittsburgh Steelers – Las Vegas Raiders game at Allegiant Stadium. The DNC’s flyover banners read, ‘Sack Trump’s Project 2025. Vote Kamala.’ Flyovers also happened at other NFL games across the country.”

KSNV (Las Vegas, NV): “If you went to Allegiant Stadium to see the Raiders–Steelers game and looked up, then you would see ‘Vote Kamala’ above. And it wasn’t just us here locally… the NFL and the DNC launched this whole skywriting campaign, and they did so in the battleground states… very similar that people who were going to these big games, big NFL stadiums, sold out, looking up to the sky and seeing the flyover banner. Sometimes it would read, ‘Sack Trump’s Project 2025. Vote Kamala.’ Sometimes it would read, ‘Go Birds!’, depending on the stadium they were at.”
