New Harris ad campaign aims to link Trump to Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign team says it is launching a new advertising campaign that aims to link former President Donald Trump with the conservative “Project 2025,” from which he sought to distance himself.
The first ad claims Trump wants to “control voters,” juxtaposing Trump quotes with ominous screenshots of the plan. The ad is part of Harris’ $370 million digital and TV ad booking between Labor Day and Election Day.
The commercial is to be broadcast in the swing states and in the television area around Trump’s house in Palm Beach, Florida – a practice that Trump’s campaign team has also been using for a while. It is apparently an attempt to influence the former president’s social media behavior.
Led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Project 2025 is a detailed 920-page handbook for governing under the next Republican administration, including the removal Thousands of civil servants and their replacement by Trump loyalists to withdraw the approval of drugs used in abortion by the Food and Drug Administration.
Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, posting on social media that he had not seen the plan and had “no idea who is responsible for it, and unlike our very well-received Republican program, he had nothing to do with it.”

The high costs of caring for children and the elderly have Women from employmentruined the family finances and left behind professional caregivers Low-paying jobs – all this while economic growth is slowing.
That families are suffering is not up for debate. With the economy increasingly front and center in this presidential election, the Democratic and Republican candidates have outlined cost-cutting proposals that reveal their differing views on the family.
On this point, the two candidate lists have one thing in common: Both presidential candidates – and their running mates – have at some point spoken out in favor of expanding the child tax credit.
Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has signaled that she wants to build on this the ambitions of the government of outgoing President Joe Bidenthat wanted to pour billions of taxpayer dollars into more affordable child care and home care for older and disabled adults. She has not worked any of these plans into a formal policy program. But in a speech earlier this month, she said her vision included Increase in the child allowance.
Former Republican President Donald Trump has declined to answer questions about how he would make child care more affordable, despite addressing the issue during his own term in office. His running mate, Senator JD Vance, has long history of advancing policy measures that would encourage Americans to start families.
The election of Kamala Harris would be a first. Since 1836, only an incumbent vice president has been elected president.
