The Democratic National Committee (DNC) projected images on Trump Tower in Chicago on Sunday evening ahead of the party’s convention on Monday.
“All eyes are on Chicago, and tonight, everyone is receiving a preview of the contrast that Democrats will drive throughout the Democratic National Convention this week – directly on Trump International Hotel,” the DNC said in a statement.
The images on the Trump International Hotel and Tower, which is named for former President Trump, attempted to tie the former president and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, to Project 2025, a political initiative published by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank based out of Washington, D.C.

Elements of the initiative have become controversial, leading Trump to deny attempts to link him to the project.
“I know nothing about Project 2025. I have not seen it, have no idea who is in charge of it, and, unlike our very well received Republican Platform, had nothing to do with it,” Trump said in a June Truth Social post.
The messages projected on the tower, which is the second-tallest building in Chicago, were also meant to contrast Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the Republican ticket, with the DNC saying that the vice president and Minnesota governor “have proven records of delivering for working families.”
