Kamala Harris Slams JD Vance’s RNC Speech: ‘Their Plans Are Extreme And They Are Divisive’

Harris' remarks Thursday arrive several days after the Saturday assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris called out Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) for not bringing up Project 2025 in his speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday.

“Frankly, what is very telling is what [Vance] did not talk about on that stage. He did not talk about Project 2025, their 900-page blueprint for a second Trump term,” Harris said at a campaign event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Thursday. “He did not talk about it because their plans are extreme and they are divisive.”

Project 2025 is a 920-page far-right policy document that has been dubbed an authoritarian playbook. It seeks to redesign the government and lays out hundreds of proposals, including attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, reproductive freedom, education and more.

Donald Trump, who formally became the Republican Party’s presidential nominee at the RNC on Monday, has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, although multiple people who worked in his administration have contributed to it.

Meanwhile, Vance, Trump’s running mate, has said that the document has both “good ideas” and “some things he disagreed with,” but that it “has no affiliation with the Trump campaign.”
