A campaign official for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris acknowledged Wednesday that the vice president is deliberately misleading voters about Project 2025.
CNN first reported the stunning admission as part of a fact-check article accusing Harris of making false claims about Project 2025 and former President Donald Trump’s stance on Social Security. CNN’s Daniel Dale revealed:
A Harris campaign official said the campaign has “made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as “Project 2025,” since they believe “it has stuck with voters.”
Since entering the presidential race Sunday, Harris and her campaign have repeatedly tried to link Project 2025 to Trump, despite the former president’s pushback.
A few hours before CNN published its fact-check story Wednesday, Trump called links to Project 2025 “merely disinformation put out by the Radical Left Democrat Thugs. Do not believe them!”
Launched by The Heritage Foundation two years ago, Project 2025 has grown to a coalition of 110 conservative organizations developing a transition plan for the next presidential administration. Its work is nonpartisan and available to whomever occupies the White House in January 2025.
CNN’s report is the first public admission from Democrats or the Harris campaign that their strategy is to deliberately mislead voters about Trump.
Their attacks on Project 2025 escalated following President Joe Biden’s widely panned June 27 debate performance. In response, several liberal media outlets have published fact-check articles disputing Biden’s claims—and now those of Harris.
CNN, for example, examined Harris’ comments at her first campaign rally Tuesday about Project 2025:
When you read it, you will see Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare. He intends to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations and make working families foot the bill. They intend to end the Affordable Care Act. And take us back, then, to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with pre-existing conditions.
After reviewing “Mandate for Leadership,” the Project 2025 book of policy recommendations, CNN concluded:
One of Harris’ claims about Project 2025 is false, while another is at least misleading. The Project 2025 document does not show that Trump intends to cut Social Security; the document barely discusses Social Security at all and does not propose cuts to the program. In addition, contrary to Harris’ suggestion, Project 2025 does not call to “end” the Affordable Care Act or eliminate its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
Another fact-check article, published Wednesday by VERIFY, a website devoted to stopping the spread of false information, debunked a myth that Project 2025 called for the elimination of individualized education plans, commonly known as IEPs.
“Neither Project 2025 nor The Heritage Foundation have called specifically for IEPs to be eliminated,” authors Megan Loe and Kelly Jones wrote. “IEPs aren’t mentioned anywhere in ‘Mandate for Leadership: A Conservative Promise,’ which outlines the plan for Project 2025.”
Previously, a USA Today fact-check article rated false the Democrats’ claim that “Project 2025 is a plan from Trump.”
Project 2025 is a political playbook created by the Heritage Foundation and dozens of other conservative groups, not Trump, who said he disagrees with elements of the effort.
Despite these and other fact-check articles, Harris’ campaign and the Democrat National Committee continued to make false assertions about Project 2025 as of publication of this Daily Signal story. To combat the misinformation, Project 2025 has debunked the most notable myths.

Lies and violence are all the Democrats know.
Democrats do not have any qualms about lying, cheating and stealing. It is their natural behavior.
The motto of the Democrat party is, “The ends justify the means”! They are despicable!
This election will be LOST if every single conservative media group in the country and around the world doesn’t PUSH for corrections of false and misleading MSM and Harris campaign lies. We are already starting way back because MSM will not publish truths about the lies the current administration has tossed out. How in the world are people NOT more upset about this? Her fundraising shows me that people hate Trump so much, that they will actually elect another Liar-in-Chief.
The real question is how many independent voters or democrat voters will either hear this or even care?
Thou shall not bear false witness. Harris, you are a liar, you will go to hell is you don’t repent and seek God’s forgiveness.
Refer to the Left as EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE: COMMUNISTS. Their ideas and policy positions are so horrible that they have to resort to coercion to implement them and they can only cheat, lie and promote violence against their political opponents in order to win elections and hold onto power. Their goal is to destroy our Reoublic and our society when they are in power. They cannot hold office at any level of government or they use that power to trample Constitutional freedoms. Note how they intentionally compromised our national security by allowing open borders, thanks to Border Czar Kacklin’ Kamala, then claim the border is secure and even go so far as to deny she was ever appointed Border Czar by Brandon. They don’t even mind that the have blood on their hands from their intentional open border policy. They make Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot (their heroes) proud by emulating them and their policies.
Until the RNC learns to play hardball we will continue to be helpless victims of a corrupt press. They need to legally challenge every false charge and tie the media up in court until the coastal elitists go bankrupt.
I say, Kamala Harris has a lot more to apologize than just for that. Is she truly sorry? Not at all. Just a ploy to get back in the good graces of some voters. She has much more to account for than just a “slip” in this instance. What about her behavior, performance, and attitude since the first day in office. Are people insane enough to want 4 yrs of her that will ruin the USA? Maybe some are, but I’m not. She is too immature and lacks knowledge and insight with the American people, and no one wants an immature person who acts like a giddy little school girl and thinks she is so cute and endearing to constituents. Surely our country has not gone completely off the deep end in electing her as POTUS. She would be the nail in the coffin of the USA.
The border Czar did just what the machine wanted her to do — allow millions of people to cross the border into our country. She was not inept, she did a thorough job of continuing the destruction of our country. It was done with great intent and planning. Perhaps she was chosen to carry out a plan we now see happening. She is far left of even Bernie.
the dmeocrats do not “mislead”. Democrats lie and they lie all of the time.
If you think a democrat is making you are promise you are wrong.
“They’re going to cut your….(fill in blank)” is older than Kamala is dumb. I find it humorous that Democrats use this when my mothers pharmacy coverage, while not “cut” per se, told us to drop our cheaper local NOT CHAIN pharmacist in favor of Canadien chain CVS.
The democrats have learned from, “Trump is a Threat to Democracy”, that if you tell a lie enough times……The sheep will believe it as absolute truth
What Harris and most other Democrats use as an “election platform” is a 3-legged stool comprised of mischaracterizations, untruthful accusations, and falsely-described “values” that they never exhibit.
Invariably, economic damage and income-robbing burdens have resulted from Democrat “leadership” during the Biden, Obama and Clinton presidencies… with much silver-tongued rhetoric on the side, of course…
The measurable outcomes of these presidencies have been…
1) a strong-flowing, incoming pipeline of murderers, sex trafficers, rapists, child rapists, drug dealers, home invaders, and all other varieties of incorrigible criminal elements pouring in.
2) Policies and regulations that have restrained our GDP and lowered our incomes.
We all need to vote on election day.
What about misleading everybody on joe? What about all the accusations against President Trump? All the lying you did against President Trump? You got a lot of forgiveness to ask for lady.
When are people are going to figure out 3/4 of this crap the demorats are putting is Bull****!
So…Biden doesn’t LIE, he only embellishes and fabricates. Harries doesnt LIE, she just misleads and misinforms. Liar, liar, trousers ablaze…
So in other words, business as usual for the Democrat Party and its operatives in the MSM. Nothing new here sad to say. The Democrat Party has always believed in doing whatever it takes to get what they want. Lying, cheating, stealing and much worse are ALL on the menu when it comes to their strategy and tactics.
Well finally reporters for MSM are allowed to tell the truth. Who would have thought after 16 years of lies, escalated the last 4 years under Obiden. Finally the dems are called out on their. Obiden had to always say I am good at telling the truth. If you have to say that about yourself you know they have been lying, and continue to lie. Kameltoe has nothing to run on. And don’t call her border czar because even though she had the job to secure the border she never worked on it and ignored the job in a few weeks and 20 million people have entered the country. Some good but also many bad people. And we, the American people are paying for their housing, education and health care. The biggest deficit spending of Joe’s presidency, next to the Ukraine. We sure have prospered with all the lies, do we need more of this kind of prosperity in the next 4 years?????
At the end of the day, Harris will have to open her mouth and try to make sense. I don’t believe she can. Hasn’t so far.
Her entire political career is based on lies and favors. She has not won nor accomplished anything on her own, She is 100% fraud.
Dems only vote for Dems. If Adolf Hitler were running, that’s who they would vote for. They are also incredible stupid with no common sense!
Why don’t they make these people have to admit that they lied.
Time to start thinking about the worst case scenario. The democrats stole the las election and they will do it again.
ALL Dems do is: Lie, distrort, decieve, cheat, cover up, defraud
They apologize because they ARE misleading (and sound like they plan to continue to do so)? How does that work? Does “apologize” mean something different than I’d thought?
The truth here is that Biden and the democrats are lying about just about every promise they have made.
Do you think we will ever hear of any policies embraced by the majority of Americans or will the far left (the most vocal segment of Democrats) continue to gaslight, lie, lie by omission, contort, distort, redefine, instill fear based on those falsehoods, and use hypocrisy to further their far left wing progressive to socialist, even to communist policy in some cases?
Lies and more lies.Is the democrats new chant”all for us and crumbs for you,boo-hoo-hoo-hoo”.
As Dennis Prager says, Truth is not a left wing value.
The Democrat party proves him correct daily.
Perhaps the Democrats should read the contents of the Project 2025. They might learn something about what Americans really want. They won’t do that or consider the message because they have moved so far left that their sense of priority is warped. They bow down to the socialists and elitists for the power that it gives them. How is that for a legacy?
Do you believe the people will finally see the democrat lies, or is it a wasted thought
Misleading statements, that is the demonrat mantra. It’s real simple to me, no more talking about going to vote, all Patriots must vote Trump 2024. This is it ladies and gentlemen, if Cackala gets elected, The Republic is over…………….NO MORE EXCUSES!
Every time the democrats open their mouths you know they are lying. They will say and do anything to keep power and control.
Election reform needs to address these issues. Knowingly spreading lies is beyond unethical. Maybe Trump should sue her for telling lies about him. The campaign has already admitted it, earn some money and send it downline to other conservatives.
Democrats lie, lie, lie about everything!
As I have been saying for many years:
Leftist ideology and the Leftist agenda are based on lies, misinformation, and deception. The greatest enemies of the Left are truth, facts, and reality. In the end, the Left has nothing but lies since the truth will bury them.
When you can’t win on the facts, lie….lying Biden and Harris…strange bedfellows!
Why don’t our media and candidates tie Kamala and her pals to the agendas of the NEA and AFT? She spoke to the amoral leaders of the AFT today! Teachers unions are the #1 supporters of DIMMS and got paid off by the useless and destructive Dept. of Education back during the Peanut’s term. Abortion on demand, castration of youth, kiddie porn in elementary schools, etc.
Assume that anything the liberal media reports about the election is false unless you can verify it from a reliable source. This is the opposite of Regan’s “trust but verify”.
She absolutely cannot be elected. A liar, cheat, low respect for anyone, and totally a harbinger of doom.
We need to go bak, waaay bak… bc from bHUSSEINo to now we’ve only had 4 years, TRUMP, when America ???????? was Great here n around the globe as a Constitutional Republic vs the demoncRATic plantation-ists fascist in DC today. Biden has been an egregious $35T socialist inflationary debacle, a Romans 1 assault on the 1 True biblical GOD, and a SINister Illegal Invasion of the United States. Sooo… let’s go bak to 2004 maybe.
I live in Wisconsin and the lies for Harris are so bad the group putting them on make her like she is a God and will save this country and she is the greatest person in Washington and her record is so good, she did nothing being VP never went to the border did not care what was coming into this country but when they brag her up they never say nothing about that.
Whatever it’s to get votes. Lie and blame the other side if you get caught lying. Clinton 101 as inspired by Alinski.
Liars lie…it’s that simple.
Democrats are doing what they do best which is lying about what they are discussing.
They should change their name to Demon-crats so we all know who they are, and show horns on the donkeys head.
It is the Democrats that are destroying Medicare, Medicaid, and now their sights are on Social Security. The Dems, especially hijacked by the Socialists, are deliberately deceiving their constituents who are ignorant of the policies or global indoctrination to sidestep our sovereignty for complete power and to enrich themselves, a form of governance that is prevailing in China, Iran, Venezuela, and other tyrannical governments. They tried to compare us to Nederland, Sweden, yet has no clue how these nations and subsequent funding by citizens are implemented. We have made millions of Americans to become to depend on other working Americans while they stay at home; this will not work but further destroy our monetary valuation, and fiscal policies.
Marxcommies transformation is in full effect. They’ll stoop and do whatever they possibly can to keep them in power.
Evil greedy liars that’ll cheat steal or more to fundamentally transform the United States of America ????????
Ladies and Gentlemen, Our country is in trouble!
