Banners flown over tailgates at the University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, and Penn State University to remind college students and football fans of the importance of the 2024 election

WASHINGTON – Today, during week two of the 2024 college football season, the Democratic National Committee flew planes with banner messages tying Donald Trump and JD Vance to their dangerous Project 2025 agenda over the University of Michigan’s Michigan Stadium and Penn State’s Beaver Stadium – with a banner still to be flown over Camp Randall Stadium at the University of Wisconsin later today – to remind college students and football fans that a vote for Trump is the same as losing the game thanks to his dangerous and extreme Project 2025 plans.

The banner messages, flown over tailgates and stadiums at all three universities starting four hours before the game until kickoff, are simple and unique to each university and fan base:

Michigan: JD Vance <3 Ohio State + Project 2025

Penn State: Penn St: Beat Trump, Sack Project 2025

Wisconsin: Jump Around! Beat Trump + Project 2025

The creative for these banners can be seen below:

Democratic National Committee Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman issued the following statement:

“It’s college football Saturday, and fans are ready to sack the competition and beat Project 2025, which would give Trump unprecedented power, allow Trump to ban abortion nationwide, allow the government to monitor pregnancies, and give tax giveaways for billionaires.  The DNC is reaching voters where they are in swing states across the country by flying Project 2025 banners over the Big House in Michigan, Beaver Stadium at Penn State, and Badger Stadium in Wisconsin. These banners carry a message that resonates with fans, and reminds them that the most important contest is still to come in November. The contrast in this election couldn’t be clearer, and we have a winning playbook: sack Project 2025, make a goal-line stand, and drive 99 yards the other way towards a more just and equal America for all.”
