DNC tells fans to ‘Sack Project 2025' with banner over Eagles game

There will be the Birds and a plane at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

It remains to be seen if Superman will be there, as well.

But, for fans looking to the sky in South Philly on Sunday, they will see a plane with a banner that reads: “Go Birds! Sack Project 2025! Vote Kamala” over the Cleveland Browns – Philadelphia Eagles game in Philadelphia.

The banner was purchased by the Democratic National Committee and it intends to inform voters about Project 2025.

According to organizers, the paid campaign in Philadelphia is part of a wider national NFL ad campaign by the DNC in "an effort to meet Pennsylvania voters where they are."

“It’s NFL Sunday and Eagles fans across Pennsylvania are ready to sack Donald Trump’s Project 2025 playbook and fight for their freedom with the Harris-Walz ticket. Trump’s Project 2025 agenda is a dangerous plan to give him unprecedented power over Pennsylvanians’ daily lives, hike taxes on typical families by nearly $4,000 a year, and give tax giveaways to his billionaire friends," DNC Spokesperson Cameron Niven said in a statement on the banner.

With six battleground state teams playing each other and the Philadelphia Eagles at home, officials with the DNC said that they want to take the opportunity to get their message in front of voters.

Democrats have tried to tie Trump to Project 2025, a conservative policy road map from the Heritage Foundation aimed at laying the groundwork for a future Republican administration.

But Trump, who praised the group's prep work in a speech in April 2022, has worked to distance himself from the policy plan since early July.

"Since the fall of 2023, President Trump's campaign made it clear that only President Trump and the campaign, and not any other organization or former staff, represent policies for the second term. President Trump personally led the effort to establish 20 promises made to the forgotten men and women across our nation, as well as RNC Platform -- these are the only policies endorsed by President Trump for a second term. Dangerously liberal Kamala Harris and the DNC are lying and fear-mongering because they have NOTHING else to offer the American people," Danielle Alvarez, Trump Campaign Senior Advisor, said in response to the DNC banner.

The Republican National Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the banner.
