"A plan to return America to a dark past": Kamala Harris rails against Project 2025.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday called Project 2025 "a plan to return America to a dark past" during a speech to a historically Black sorority.

"[Project 2025] intend[s] to cut Medicare; to repeal our $35 cap on insulin; to eliminate the Department of Education; to end programs like Head Start, which would take away preschool for hundreds of thousands of children in our communities," Harris said at the Zeta Phi Beta Incorporated’s Grand Boulé.

Project 2025 is a GOP playbook written by a think tank that outlines the plan for another Republican presidency. While Donald Trump recently distanced himself from it, several of his former top advisors had a hand in crafting the playbook.

"Let's be clear," the likely Democratic nominee for president said, "this represents an outright attack on our children, our families, and our future."

Harris spoke in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her campaign hopes the vice president will mobilize women of color to support her campaign for president.

"These extremists want to take us back, but we are not going back," Harris declared. "We are not going back."
