Project 2025 is ‘anti-American,’ spokesperson for Harris campaign says

(NEXSTAR) – As the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, Democrats are hoping to keep the focus on Project 2025 and the connection they say former President Donald Trump has to it.
Trump has spent months trying to distance himself from the controversial plan for a future Republican president put together by the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, which includes some of Trump’s own former administration officials.
“The more the American people hear about Project 2025, the more they support Vice President Harris and Governor Walz,” Kevin Munoz, senior spokesperson for Harris for President told NewsNation.
He went on to call it an “anti-American, unacceptable agenda” that “rips away Americans’ freedoms, gives handouts to corporations and billionaires, and does nothing to address the American people and the issues they care most about.”
While speaking with Nexstar, Munoz pointed to the impacts on abortion rights Project 2025 could have. He teased scheduled speakers for Monday, who are “going to tell their stories of the impact of Donald Trump’s abortion ban that he enabled by overturning Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision.”
“These are men and women in Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, that have had their rights taken away and live these unacceptable horror stories of almost dying because they couldn’t get reproductive care,” Munoz explained. “Well, Project 2025 would make that nightmare that women have faced in these states a national one. We have to be that sober and clear about the stakes.”
