Kamala Harris links Trump to Project 2025 in debut rally: ‘Can you believe they put that thing in writing?’
Harris outlines a campaign built around abortion rights, voting rights and making the case against the former president
In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.
Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself from.
“He and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we got to take that seriously,” Harris said. ”Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages.”
The plan proposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, tax breaks to corporations that will force “working families to foot the bill” and abolishes the Affordable Care Act, which “will take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions,” Harris said.

I’m legitimately curious how many people have actually read their document. I just started the other day and I’m about 100 pages in. I’m glad to see people are starting to realize the amount of coordination going on within the far right. Straight up playbook for stacking the cards and consolidating power to the executive branch. Borderline unconstitutional type stuff.
I'm confused.... They did it on cameras on Jan 6th.. why are some Americans still blind to it. Do they know they can listen to the trump tapes!?
No you see, that was their crazies, and even though they support their crazies, you shouldn’t do guilty by association.
Having said that, I’ve been going on far right forums and it’s mostly guilty by association. They find a very obviously wrong “leftist” and claim that anyone that calls themselves a leftist has the responsibility to keep all those wearing the label in check.
Their logic doesn’t even work cause, I could just use another label, doubt they would allow me to self identify though.
I read some but I had to stop after it started talking about the deep state, when that's the whole point of p2025. A right wing deep state. The 180 proof, acidic nature of the irony melted my face and I could no longer see.
These motherfuckers are always doing what they accuse the other side of doing
They're well past "borderline" unconstitutional.
Our supreme court agrees with them.
But the constitution doesn't

And that's a serious problem.
the heritage foundation has been putting out a project 2025 like document since the 1980 and both republicans and democrats (biden included) have enacted around 75% of the recommendations so far; conservatives continuing this tradition is status quo for the united states.
Heritage foundation is an israeli lobby which explains why both Democrats and Republicans participate.
Do you have a link handy for further reading on this? I knew the heritage foundation has been terrible since inception but I didn't realize how much sway they've had historically. I thought that influence was new
