Trump campaign resurrects socialism warning ahead of Democratic debate

President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign will fly a banner above Atlanta ahead of Wednesday night’s Democratic debate decrying the party’s “socialist” policies, continuing a tactic used earlier this year.

The campaign announced that the flyover will take place twice throughout the day and feature a message reading “Democrats’ socialism will destroy Atlanta jobs.” The banner will fly across the city from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.

The Trump campaign flew similar banners over both Westerville, Ohio, and Houston on the day of past Democratic debates in those cities.

“Big government socialism will wreck the economy,” the campaign ad states.

Trump and his campaign have used the term “socialism” as a primary talking point to attack progressive policies such as “Medicare for All,” the Green New Deal and other prominent Democratic talking points.

Ten Democrats will take the stage in Atlanta on Wednesday for the latest of the party’s 12 planned presidential primary debates.
