The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, said on Thursday (18) that the story that JD Vance, Donald Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, told the crowd during his speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday- fair (17) was “convincing”, but “not the complete story”.
“Frankly, what’s very telling is what he didn’t say on that stage,” Harris said during a rally in North Carolina.
“He didn’t talk about Project 2025, Trump’s 900-page plan for a second term,” Harris added. She continued: “He didn’t talk about it because his plans are extreme.”
The Democrat also criticized Vance for his party’s stance on abortion, the economy and the Republican Party’s call for unity following the assassination attempt on the former president on Saturday (13).
“The point is this: if you claim to stand for unity, you need to do more than just use the word,” she highlighted.
“You cannot claim to stand for unity if you are promoting an agenda that deprives entire groups of Americans of basic freedoms, opportunities and dignity,” he added.
“You cannot claim to be for unity if you try to overturn a free and fair election and threaten to scrap the Constitution of the United States,” Harris concluded.
Project 2025 is a political plan for the next Republican president produced by a conservative institution, the Heritage Foundation.
Trump tried to distance himself from the document, but an analysis of the CNN found that at least 140 people who worked in the former president’s administration participated in creating the report.
