Biden-Harris campaign discusses Project 2025

MILWAUKEE – The Biden-Harris campaign team held a press conference Wednesday morning in a downtown Milwaukee office building. The press conference focused on a number of explosive policy issues, including Project 2025. Biden-Harris deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Texas Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-16) spoke to the media about what happened on the second day of the Republican National Convention the night before, immigration, reproductive rights and Project 2025. “Republicans lied to the American people consistently yesterday and the day before,” Fulks said. “They lied about their positions on reproductive freedom, they reiterated their harmful positions on everything. They lied about crime statistics, they lied about the economy, and today we’re going to hear their lies about foreign policy.”

Fulks said the campaign plans to focus on all of these and other issues through November. US Vice President Kamala Harris was in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Tuesday afternoon. US President Joseph R. Biden attended the annual NAACP convention in Las Vegas.

“Republicans are lying to the American people on virtually every single issue that affects their lives,” Fulks said.

Fulks added that the campaign needs to make sure voters understand what Project 2025 is designed to change if it is implemented under a second Trump administration. He said, “This is extremely important to us. Our main concern is that this election offers a choice and that there are two very different visions for this country.”

Joining Fulks and the politicians on stage was Amanda Zurawski, a Texas woman who experienced a near-fatal abortion due to a complicated pregnancy. Zurawski told her story of having to wait to have an abortion after her doctor informed her and her husband that the little girl, whom Zurawski named Willow, had died in the womb.

“I want to speak to the women of America. We are sounding the alarm,” Escobar said. “There is a lot at stake for all of us. There is only one body that can change our outdated immigration laws, and that is Congress.”

A similar press conference on Project 2025 was held in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon. Longtime Georgia State Representative Hank Johnson, Georgia State Senator Sonya Halpern, and Georgia State Representative Derrick Jackson were on hand to speak to the media.

Asked if this was a coordinated effort by the Biden-Harris campaign, Fulks said Trump would use Project 2025 to undermine checks and balances, abolish the Department of Education and push through a nationwide abortion ban. “So we’re going to continue to talk about this every day,” Fulks said.
