Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination Thursday night with a speech condemning her November opponent, Donald Trump, and his far-right agenda as a dire threat to critical social programs, fundamental freedoms, and democracy itself.
"We know what a second Trump term would look like. It's all laid out in Project 2025, written by his closest advisers," said Harris, referring to the Heritage Foundation-led initiative that the Republican nominee has unconvincingly tried to disavow.
"Its sum total is to pull our country back to the past. But America, we are not going back," said the vice president. "We are not going back to when Donald Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. We are not going back to when he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, when insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions. We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools."
