Kamala Harris Has A Serious ‘Project 2025’ Problem Of Her Own
If you didn’t know any better, you might think that Kamala Harris was running against some guy named “Project 2025.” She brings it up in every speech. Her campaign has said that “Project 2025” is on the ballot.
But it’s not the lies she and the media are spreading about Project 2025. It’s the fact that Harris doesn’t have one herself that should trouble voters most.
In case you don’t know, Project 2025 is an alliance of more than 100 conservative groups led by the Heritage Foundation, which got together to compile a 900-page list of policy proposals called “Mandate for Leadership.” (Heritage has published this volume every four years since 1980.)
Trump and his campaign have repeatedly made it clear that this isn’t his agenda. And, indeed, he has detailed plans posted on his campaign website – not to mention a track record of success as president.
But Harris? She has no policy agenda whatsoever. None.
Aside from fundraising pitches and ads for childish merch, her official campaign website is comprised of just a “Meet Kamala Harris” page, with 11 paragraphs of text that unintentionally showcase her rice-paper-thin resume.
Here’s the entire list of her “big” accomplishments:
- “… she’s been a trusted partner to President Joe Biden …” (Never mind that Biden shoved her to the sidelines almost immediately.)
- “… she proudly represented the United States on the global stage in meetings with over 150 world leaders …” (Attending meetings! What an achievement!)
- “… in the U.S. Senate, she led on legislation …” (No mention if any of these became law.)
- “… she fought for critical causes …” (Name a single politician who can’t claim this.)
- “She also grilled Donald Trump’s nominees …” (Meaning she embarrassed herself in her ad-hominem attacks during Senate hearings.)
(Harris has to go back to when she was California attorney general before she can name one specific win of her own. )
The entirety of Harris’ policy agenda is summed up on that page in one sentence: “She is running for President of the United States to continue protecting our freedoms, delivering justice, and expanding opportunity so that every American can not just get by, but get ahead.”
That’s it. A poorly written paraphrase of the preamble to the Constitution.
Go ahead. Try to find any details about Harris’ plans anywhere. It’s impossible.
All you get are empty stories with a bunch of “mights” and “coulds” like:
- “How Kamala Harris’ platform could differ from Joe Biden’s”
- “Abortion, Israel-Gaza: Where Harris’ agenda could break from Biden’s on key issues for voters”
- “What does Kamala Harris really stand for?”
- “What Kamala Harris’ economic agenda might look like.”
- “The battle intensifies to define Kamala Harris.”
Here’s how the leftist Huffington Post put it:
But the unique circumstances of this campaign mean the elements of Harris’ prospective agenda are less clear than they normally would be at this point, at least by Democratic Party standards.
On the one hand, Harris is part of an incumbent administration, running on its record and previously announced plans for new initiatives. But while Harris has certainly helped to shape both, she has never been the ultimate decision-maker. It’s safe to assume Harris has some different ideas about what to do or, at least, how to prioritize. Had there been a normal primary campaign, Harris would have sketched out that governing vision.
That never happened, and it’s probably not going to happen now. With her candidacy not even two weeks old, plus a running mate still to name and a convention still to stage, Harris doesn’t have the time to put together a bunch of new policies, let alone introduce them with speeches, white papers and expert testimonials.
Her press team, meanwhile, isn’t saying much about policy ― except to confirm that Harris is no longer committed to some of the more progressive positions of her 2020 presidential bid, like promising to ban fracking or promoting a kinda-sorta-Medicare-for-All plan.” (emphasis added)
When Harris tried to articulate a policy agenda during her ill-fated presidential run 2020, it was a disaster, revealing her to be an incredible lightweight. (Her campaign is “disavowing” everything she said then anyway.) Her undistinguished time as senator is noteworthy only in that her voting record was to the left of avowed socialist Bernie Sanders. As vice president, her most notable achievement has been to dazzle audiences with her ability to say nothing using the most words possible. And her record staff turnover rate.
There are 90 days until the election. Early voting starts in a matter of weeks. And Democrats hope that the public will elect someone to the most powerful job on Earth who has no record of achievement, no identifiable policy positions, and no stated plans should she be elected.
This is truly unbelievable and historically unprecedented.
The scariest part is that — aided by a compliant press and a deep state that will do anything and everything to help her, plus the Democrats’ long history of cheating — she could win.
