The Democratic National Committee has booked a plane to fly over the GOP 2024 presidential primary debate, trailing a banner attacking the “MAGA base” on Wednesday night.
Eight Republican candidates will take the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at 9 p.m. ET for the first primary debate. Outside the venue, billboards will feature highlights from each of the candidates’ careers, but the DNC’s banner in the sky will summarize the night: “GOP 2024: A Race for the Extreme MAGA Base,” according to Politico.
The DNC has also set up a “war room” to respond to claims the GOP candidates make throughout the debate.
“We’re not going to take the bait at every turn, because that’s not a recipe for success,” a Biden campaign official told the outlet. “You’ll see us chime in if we feel like we need to respond directly to something that is egregious.”
