Democrats go to new heights to spotlight Project 2025, flying banners over college football stadiums
Democrats have denounced the conservative Project 2025 blueprint in hundreds of ads and billboards, printed it in oversized book form as a convention prop and mentioned it frequently
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats have denounced it in hundreds of ads and billboards, printed it in oversize book form as a convention prop, and mentioned it in seemingly every speech and press statement.
On Saturday, they took their campaign against the conservative Project 2025 blueprint, written by allies of Republican Donald Trump, to the sky above college football stadiums in key swing states.
Democratic National Committee -sponsored banners pulled by small airplanes flew Saturday over Michigan Stadium, where the defending national champion Wolverines lost to Texas, and at home games for Penn State and Wisconsin. A banner set to fly over Georgia's home game was grounded due to weather.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her allies have spent months warning about Project 2025, betting that the initiative makes Trump seem especially extreme. More than 900 pages and produced by the conservative Heritage Foundation, the plan lays out how Trump in his second term might do everything from firing tens of thousands of federal workers to abolishing government departments to imposing new restrictions on abortion and diversity initiatives.
