Trump wants to turn US democracy into dictatorship: Kamala Harris

Harris alleged that Trump’s advisers have created a 900-page blueprint that they are calling “Project 2025”, detailing everything else they plan to do in a second term, including a plan to cut Social Security.

WASHINGTON: Former US president and the presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump would turn the American democracy into a dictatorship, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday.

“Donald Trump wants to turn our democracy into a dictatorship. And the Supreme Court basically just declared he can get away with it,” Harris said in Las Vegas, as she launched AANHPIs for Biden-Harris, a national organising and engagement program that will mobilise Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) voters, communities and leaders across the country.

Harris alleged that Trump’s advisers have created a 900-page blueprint that they are calling “Project 2025”, detailing everything else they plan to do in a second term, including a plan to cut Social Security, repeal the USD-35 cap on insulin, eliminate the Department of Education and end programs like Head Start.

“Project 2025 outlines a plan to limit access to contraception and for a nationwide abortion ban with or without an act of Congress. If implemented, this plan would be the latest attack in Donald Trump’s full-on assault on reproductive freedom,” she said.

“Make no mistake, if Trump gets the chance, he will sign a national abortion ban to outlaw abortion in every single state. But we are not going to let that happen. No, we are not. We are not going to let that happen because we trust women. We know women know what is in their own best interest and do not need their government telling them what to do with their body,” she said amid applause from the audience.
