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.

137So now that Project 2025 is unpopular and Trump is trying to distance himself from it, has anyone else found Trump's lack of campaign promises kind of strange? Leading up to the 2016 election he made a ridiculous amount of promises. Mexico building a wall, bring back coal, lock up Hillary, repeal and replace Obamacare, balanced budget. This time around it's very different. I can't think of any promises he's made. Could it be he doesn't want to mention the promises he failed to delivered on or maybe Project 2025 is exactly what he has in mind?
111As I said, Trump is totally ignorant of the Streishand Effect here. Which he used to tremendous effect before.
AND of his own strategy of "mention you don't support something, repeatedly, as a sign you low key support it."
Now he's actually trying to say he doesn't support something, and it's like he's totally forgotten his own history.
36I don't like her, but you have to admit that's hysterical.
