Following the Democratic National Convention&#8217;s momentum, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) have launched a new series of advertisements funded by $370 million in media reservations from Labor Day to Election Day. These ads aim to associate Trump with Project 2025\u2014a conservative framework spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation outlining what a second Trump presidency would entail.<\/p>\n<p>Starting Thursday, voters in key battleground states and the West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce area will see TV and digital ads highlighting Trump&#8217;s desire for &#8220;control&#8221; if re-elected. One ad features a narrator stating, &#8220;Donald Trump&#8217;s back, and he&#8217;s out for control,&#8221; followed by Trump asserting he has every right to target his political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>During an event at the International Association of Fire Fighters Convention in Boston on Wednesday morning, Walz criticized Trump over Project 2025, attempting to link him with wealthy elites while positioning Democrats as champions of the middle class. He warned that one objective of Project 2025 is to undermine middle-class interests by making it more difficult for workers to negotiate collectively and allowing employers significant leeway in cutting or eliminating overtime pay while imposing a national sales tax that benefits only the ultra-wealthy.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has attempted to distance himself from this extensive blueprint\u2014which includes proposals like dismantling the Department of Education and restricting abortion access\u2014calling it &#8220;seriously extreme&#8221; and crafted by individuals who are &#8220;severe right.&#8221; At last week&#8217;s DNC in Chicago, several speakers referenced Project 2025; Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) humorously renamed it \u201cProject 1825\u201d or \u201cProject 1925,\u201d while Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) brought a physical copy on stage, pointing out controversial statements within it regarding family structures.<\/p>\n<p>A recent University of Massachusetts Amherst poll indicated that over half (53%) of Americans are aware of Project 2025 but disapprove of its policies\u2014potentially posing an electoral risk for Republicans. Quentin Fulks, principal deputy campaign manager for Harris-Walz stated that Trump&#8217;s agenda poses a threat to core American values through proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare among other extreme measures he might pursue if elected again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":2332541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Harris-Walz-2.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[37556,33997,32076],"class_list":["post-2332540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-harris-walz","tag-project-2025","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Harris-Walz-2.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2332540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2332540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2332540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2332541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2332540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2332540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2332540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
