During the Democratic National Convention, Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow delivered a stark warning about the implications of Project 2025, a policy blueprint associated with former President Donald Trump and the Heritage Foundation. In her speech, she highlighted alarming proposals such as allowing Trump to dismiss civil servants and weaponize the Department of Justice against political opponents, likening these actions to tactics used in dictatorships. McMorrow referred to the document as a roadmap for unprecedented presidential powers, stating that it is far worse than what many might assume. Although Trump has distanced himself from the project, McMorrow argued that the proposals would enable a significant overhaul of the federal workforce. She concluded by emphasizing the importance of electing Kamala Harris to prevent the implementation of such drastic changes. The speech was part of a larger Democratic effort to rally against what they view as a dangerous agenda for the future.
