Why Kamala Harris’ plan to troll Trump with banner flying over Alabama-Georgia game was canceled

Vice President Kamala Harris was to have a pointed message for former President Donald Trump - and the more than 100,000 people at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday for the Georgia-Alabama game.

CNN reported that the Harris campaign would have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game with a banner reading, "Trump's Punting on 2nd Debate."

Trump, along with Alabama Sens. Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville, attended the Alabama-Georgia football game in Tuscaloosa.

In addition, the campaign planed to air a national ad during the game issuing a challenge for Trump to meet her on the debate stage for a rematch.

"Winners never back down from a challenge," the ad's narrator says. "Champions know it's any time, any place. But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home."

The banner, however, was nowhere to be seen during the game.

The flight was canceled because of weather, The New York Times reported . The TV ad was still set to run.

Earlier this month, Trump said it's "too late" to hold another debate after Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign said she had accepted an invitation for a face-off on CNN in October.

Harris and Trump took the stage for their only debate so far on Sept. 10, a showdown moderated by ABC News that had originally been agreed to by the Republican presidential nominee and Biden's campaign.

That debate saw Trump deliver an uneven performance and a CNN snap poll showed voters viewed Harris as the clear winner. Harris' campaign immediately challenged Trump to a second televised contest, and she has repeatedly said at rallies that she is eager to take the stage again.

Trump, in the home stretch of the presidential race against Harris, will be attending his third high-stakes Alabama game. Trump was at the 2017 national championship in Atlanta, when the Crimson Tide defeated Georgia 26-23. In 2019, Trump came to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama-LSU game, won by LSU, the eventual national champion that year.
