Yesterday, the DNC greeted Trump in Indiana, Pennsylvania, with a special message calling him out for being scared to face Vice President Harris in a second debate – despite previously boasting that he’d debate “anytime, anywhere.”

As a result, in mobile billboards and billboards spread across the city of Indiana, PA, the DNC spotlighted Trump going back on his word, taunting him as too “chicken” to debate Harris because he knows the truth – voters will watch and reject his dangerous Project 2025 agenda, just like in the first debate.

Take a look at some of the coverage below: 

On the Airwaves: 

On CNN: “The former president is holding the second of two events today in Western Pennsylvania, his trip through the Commonwealth, shadowed by a mobile billboard from the Democratic National Committee, reading, ‘There’s no debate. Donald Trump’s a chicken.’ The message alluding to his decision to opt out of a second debate with Vice President Harris.”

On MSNBC: “Starting tonight, Democrats are trying to pressure Trump into another debate by calling him a chicken. The DNC is putting billboards outside Trump rallies saying, ‘There’s no debate. Donald Trump’s a chicken.’ Those billboards were set to greet Trump at his event in Pennsylvania tonight.” 

On MSNBC: “In Pennsylvania, where Donald Trump is holding a rally tonight […] he was greeted with these billboards depicting him in a chicken suit. I’m sure he did not love those. The text reads, ‘There’s no debate. Donald Trump’s a chicken.’”
