Why Project 2025 and the GOP platform bash California

LA Times  

It’s Thursday, July 18. Here’s what you need to know to start your day: Project 2025 and GOP platform strategy: Blast California and possible Biden replacements Then-President Trump and California Gov. A Heritage Foundation spokesperson told The Times that Project 2025 is a product of more than 100 conservative organizations and “does not speak for any candidate or campaign.” As the president of the Heritage Foundation, Roberts routinely accuses California’s Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Gov. Other goals in Trump’s platform that contrast sharply with California policies include letting the oil and gas industry “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” and strengthening “parental rights.” Citing the state’s requirement for LGBTQ+-inclusive curricula in schools, and a recent bill Newsom signed that bans schools from notifying parents whose kids use new gender identities if the students don’t want that information shared, the document and says such rules amount to “inappropriate political indoctrination of our children.” Project 2025 is much more passionate about its position against California policies, calling on Trump, if elected, to “make the institutions of American civil society hard targets for woke culture warriors.” Apart from urging the removal of all references to queer identities, “ diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and abortion and “reproductive health” from federal legislation and rules, the plan suggests that the Trump administration should “push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America,” by working with Congress to enact antiabortion laws and enforce state reporting of abortion data to the federal government. Anna Kelly, a Republican National Committee spokesperson, defended the GOP platform, writing to Kevin to say it “contains commonsense policies like cutting taxes, securing the border, ending absurd mandates, securing our elections, defending our constitutional rights, and keeping men out of women’s sports.” “If reporters find those principles contradictory to values pushed by California leaders,” Kelly wrote, “maybe it’s time for Democrats to evaluate how their state is run.” The debate over Biden’s ability to defeat Trump has remained prominent.
