Chairman Aguilar: Donald Trump cannot be allowed near the Oval Office
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar and Vice Chair Ted Lieu held a press conference highlighting the danger of the former president’s Project 2025 and the failure of House Republicans to deliver for the American people.
CHAIRMAN AGUILAR: Good afternoon. Thank you for joining us.
Earlier this morning Leader Jeffries, Whip Clark, Vice Chair Lieu and I heard from our Caucus as we discussed how we can come together to solve problems on behalf of the American people.
Every single member of the House Democratic Caucus is clear-eyed about what the stakes of this election are. Donald Trump cannot be allowed near the Oval Office and his extremist allies must never be allowed to pass a national abortion ban, or their dangerous Project 2025, which would erode our democracy and enable Trump's worst impulses. And we've seen firsthand what the Republican Majority will do if given an opportunity to govern. Chaos and confusion are the order of the day and the will of the American people is completely ignored.
The Extreme Republicans in charge have not passed a single bill to create one job but they have voted to roll back thousands of clean energy jobs. They have not passed legislation to combat rising prices, but they have promised to repeal the $35 a month insulin guarantee for our seniors. They've not done a thing to address the situation at the border. In fact they've killed the most significant border security bill in decades, while the policies of President Biden have brought border crossings down to pre-pandemic lows.
The choice before the American people this November is moving forward with a stronger economy, lowering costs and safer streets or the chaos and extremism of Donald Trump.
Together, with the Biden-Harris Administration, we’ll continue to increase economic opportunity in every zip code and deliver for working families.
Vice Chair Lieu.
VICE CHAIR LIEU: Thank you, Chair Aguilar.
Donald Trump campaigned on overturning Roe v. Wade. Trump then appointed extreme MAGA justices who lied to the Senate and then proceeded to overturn Roe v. Wade. And then, Trump bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade. Now, Trump is trying to run away from that but he can't. Why? Because of the fact Roe v. Wade was overturned. That’s a thing, that’s a fact, and millions of women have lost rights.
We also know with Project 2025, this creepy document written by Trump's closest advisors and confidants, that they want to ban abortion nationwide. Project 2025 also wants to eliminate the Department of Education, and it wants to eliminate the National Weather Service. You’re not going to get accurate weather forecasts anymore. You're just going to get stupid weather forecasts. This document is creepy, it’s a takeover of the American former government and it’s a collection of Extreme MAGA ideas that’s going ruin our way of life. That is what is at stake this November.
