A clip of Kamala Harris speaking about Donald Trump’s Project 2025 was featured in BET Awards 2024, where rapper Fat Joe served as the host. The two-minute clip was an interaction between Harris and Fat Joe from March 2024 when they had a roundtable discussion about marijuana reform and the criminal justice system.
Kamala Harris said Trump's Project 2025 initiative would harm middle-class families. She encouraged voters to look up the initiative and conduct their research before voting for the former President. According to her,
“They came up with a plan for Donald Trump if he wins again. So, I encourage everybody to Google it. It’s an 800, 900-page document. They published it and gave it out. It would do things like eliminate overtime pay. It would get rid of the Department of Education, including Head Start, do the work of trying to destroy our democracy and really work against middle-class folks.”
Project 2025 is a major initiative, uniting over 100 conservative organizations to dismantle the Deep State and return power to the people. Its Mandate for Leadership, released in April 2023, was developed by over 400 scholars and policy experts, offering policy solutions to address the nation's key challenges and guide America forward.
Project 2025 seeks to secure the border, complete the wall, and deport undocumented immigrants. It aims to increase oversight of the FBI and DOJ, boost U.S. energy production to lower costs, and curb government spending to reduce inflation.
The plan also focuses on making federal bureaucrats more accountable to elected officials, shifting education control to parents and local governments, and banning biological males from competing in women's sports.
Donald Trump has previously said he had nothing to do with Project 2025 because it is a brainchild of the Heritage Foundation. He had also expressed disagreement with certain aspects of the initiative, calling some of its proposals ridiculous and abysmal.
Kamala Harris also attacked Donald Trump as 'weak'
Kamala Harris emphasized the importance of not allowing anyone to silence one's voice, stressing that voting gave people the power to shape the country's future. However, the most striking moment came at the end of the interview.
While seated next to Fat Joe, the Vice President criticized Trump’s character, portraying him as someone who projected strength but was, in her view, weak. This moment allegedly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the BET Awards.
However, Kamala Harris emphasized the importance of voting, highlighting that despite widespread misinformation, it remained crucial for shaping the country's future. She urged voters not to be discouraged, as staying engaged is essential to making a difference.
Fat Joe openly expressed his support for Kamala Harris during the broadcast, bringing in Las Vegas Congressman Steven Horsford to emphasize the importance of voting. Horsford encouraged hip-hop fans to protect and celebrate the culture by voting for Harris.
