In a move that can only be described as a desperate attempt to steal the spotlight from former President Donald Trump, the Harris Campaign set their sights on the Alabama-Georgia football game, thinking they’d distract everyone with a flashy aerial banner. But as it turned out, Mother Nature wasn’t in the mood for political theatrics, and the whole plan crashed and burned before it even got off the ground.
The Harris team put together an elaborate scheme to fly a small plane with a banner reading “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate” over the game. It’s amusingly fitting that they thought a college football game would be a prime backdrop for their one-liner jab at Trump, given that the former president had already chalked up a win in the first debate with Harris—and likely thought that debating her again would be more painful than watching a game between two teams with a combined touchdown score of zero.

Rumors spread through left-leaning media outlets, including CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who eagerly reported on the Harris plan, thus generating buzz among social media users and pundits just itching for another reason to criticize Trump. But on game day, it was clear that, like many liberal plans, execution suffered a major flaw. Due to horrible weather conditions, the Harris Campaign had to abandon their scheme faster than a quarterback who realizes he has no line of protection.
The Harris Campaign was also banking on a national ad designed to pressure Trump into committing to another debate, with an outrageous narrative that winners don’t back down. Apparently, the Harris team has missed the memo: “losers, they whine and waffle” is a charm that often fits the Democratic agenda perfectly. But despite all the attempts at public relations gymnastics, the message fell flat, as discussions of a second debate were overshadowed by Trump’s presence in Alabama.
Meanwhile, back in Tuscaloosa, the actual winner of this political game was clear. Trump was greeted like a football hero by a crowd of over 100,000 fans. As the scoreboard lit up with his name, chants of “USA” and “Four More Years” echoed through the stadium, proving that real supporters were more interested in rallying behind their guy than engaging with the fruitless antics of his opponents. Amidst the cheers, there was no sign of Harris’ snub—just the sound of jubilant Americans celebrating their choice and the sheer absurdity of the events trying to transpire around them.
