MILWAUKEE – The Biden-Harris campaign held a press conference at an office building in downtown Milwaukee on Wednesday morning. The presser focussed on a number of hot political topics, including Project 2025. Biden-Harris Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Texas Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-16) spoke to the media about what took place on day two of the Republican National Convention a night before, immigration, reproductive rights, and Project 2025. “The Republicans yesterday and the day before have lied constantly to the American people,” Fulks said. “They’ve lied about positions on reproductive freedom, they have doubled down on harmful positions about everything. They’ve lied about crime statistics, they’ve lied about the economy, today we are going to hear them lie about foreign policy.”
Fulks said the campaign has plans to focus on all of those topics and others through November. United States Vice President Kamala Harris was in Kalamazoo, Michigan Tuesday afternoon. United States President Joseph R. Biden was in Las Vegas at the annual NAACP Convention.
“The Republicans are lying to the American people about virtually every single issue that impacts their lives,” Fulks said.
Fulks added that the campaign’s need to make sure voters understand what Project 2025 aims to change if put into place under a second Trump administration. He said, “it is extremely important for us. Our whole thing has been that this election has a choice, and that there are two very different visions for this country.”
Alongside Fulks and the politicians on stage was Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman that experienced a near-death abortion due to a complicated pregnancy. Zurawski shared her story of having to wait to have an abortion after her and her husband were alerted by their doctor that the baby girl, Zurawski’s name her Willow, had passed away in utero.
“I want to speak to the women of America, we are sounding the alarm,” Escobar said. “There is much at risk for all of us. There is only one body that can change our outdated immigration laws and that’s Congress.”
A similar press conference focussing on Project 2025 took place in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon. Longtime Georgia Representative Hank Johnson, Georgia State Senator Sonya Halpern, and Georgia State Representative Derrick Jackson were on hand to talk to the media.
Asked if this was a coordinated effort by the Biden-Harris campaign, Fulks said that Trump is going to use Project 2025 to gut checks and balances, get rid of the Department of Education, and implement a nationwide abortion ban. “So we are going to continue to talk about [it] every single day,” Fulks said.
