Harris Campaign Targets Project 2025 in New Ad

In a significant move, Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has released a new advertisement this morning asserting that Project 2025 serves as a blueprint for a potential second term for Donald Trump. This campaign kick-off comes as Harris embarks on a bus tour through Southern Georgia, a state pivotal for the Democrats where Biden won by a slim margin of less than 12,000 votes in the last election. The advertisement presents Project 2025 as an extensive 922-page plan designed to bolster Trump's presidential powers, which Harris's campaign argues could lead to severe changes within major government departments, like the Department of Justice and Department of Education. Although the Trump campaign has distanced itself from the project, ties to its authors continue to loom large, making it a key aspect of Harris's messaging. The trip to Georgia aims to connect with rural voters in less populated areas. The campaign has established 24 field offices across the state, focusing on outreach that is rare in these regions. Harris’s strategic emphasis on the implications of the project underlines the urgent narrative of how a possible Trump administration could threaten democratic norms. As the campaign gears up for the debates and upcoming interviews, Harris's approach involves portraying a stark contrast between her forward-looking policies and Trump’s agenda, which they characterize as focused on revenge. Her performance in these engagements will be crucial as they could significantly affect the voter’s perspective on her leadership capabilities and assess how trustworthy she is on various policies that can sway undecided voters in key battleground states.
