Harris to troll Trump on second debate during Georgia-Alabama game

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Her campaign has hired a plane to trail the words "Trump's Punting on 2nd Debate" over Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Saturday night, where Trump is expected to attend the much anticipated 7:30 p.m.
44% : Previously, Trump had proposed three matchups between the candidates, but Harris advisers said they would discuss subsequent meetings only after the first on Sept. 10.
39% : But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home," the narrator says at the start of the spot, over images of a football game and washed-out footage of Trump missing a golf putt.
38% : While Trump is universally known, Harris entered the race this summer as an unknown quantity for many voters.
34% : Trump subsequently praised CNN for how it conducted that matchup, which led to Biden abandoning the race in the wake of a widely panned performance.
33% : "No matter where Trump looks tonight -- whether it's up in the sky or at the TV in his luxury box -- he won't be able to escape the truth: Trump is running away from a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris because he doesn't want the American people to see just how weak and unpopular he and his Project 2025 agenda are," Harris-Walz communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement, with a reference to a conservative policy plan that Trump says does not reflect his agenda.
31% : But the race remains within the margin of error in most states, with Trump in a much stronger position nationally than he was at this point in the 2020 contest.
27% : They have accepted an Oct. 23 date on CNN, with the same moderators and rules that Trump agreed to for his first June debate with Biden.
24% : David Plouffe, a top strategist for Harris, has called Trump "chicken man" on social media because of his decision to not agree to another debate.
24% : "Trump previously ruled out attending the Sept. 10 debate before reversing course, and Harris advisers still think he may change his mind.
22% : The new ad and flyover is just the latest step in a Harris campaign strategy to shift from encouraging Trump to attend another debate to mocking him with increasing ferocity if he will not.
13% : In recent weeks, Trump has privately asked others about whether he should reverse course and agree to another Harris debate.
11% : Trump has argued that the only reason Harris wants to get back on the debate stage is that she performed so poorly the first time.
