Political experts perceived it as a missed opportunity: After all, his allies have for decades decried California as too liberal for the rest of the nation — \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-california-record-democrats/\">partly why there has never been a California Democrat elected president\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury is still out on how much Harris’ California ties could hurt her chance among undecided voters. For most Michigan and Arizona voters who spoke to CalMatters last month, Harris’ record in the White House \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-california-record-democrats/\">mattered more\u003c/a> than her California brand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who repeatedly mispronounced Harris’s first name, also blamed Harris for federal economic and border policies and insisted he outperformed her \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/presidential-debate-kamala-harris-donald-trump/\">during the debate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Harris campaign’s rapid response team \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/KamalaHQ\">posted about some of Trump’s statements\u003c/a>, but has not directly responded to what he said about her record or her home state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much of the many, many things Trump said about California and Harris’ record is accurate? Here’s our fact check on some notable claims:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>State of the state\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr>\n“California has the highest inflation, highest taxes, the highest gas prices, the most illegal aliens, the most regulations, the most expensive utilities, and it ranks as the third worst state to start a business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts\u003c/strong>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Inflation\u003c/strong>: Inflation rates fluctuate month to month. Florida had the highest inflation at 4% as of March, while California had the seventh highest, at 3.6%, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/09/states-highest-lowest-inflation/73184932007/\">analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics data\u003c/a> by Moody’s Analytics. Even according to U.S. Senate Republicans’ own inflation tracker, as of August, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/california-inflation-report/\">California\u003c/a> ranked 5th for increased monthly inflation costs since January 2021 and had a cumulative inflation rate lower than Florida and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/state-inflation-tracker\">other states in the West region\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Taxes:\u003c/strong> California does have the highest state sales tax at 7.25%, but \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/2024-sales-taxes/\">ranks 8th\u003c/a> in total state and local sales tax rates this year, according to the Tax Foundation. California’s property tax rate is at 0.75%, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/property-tax-by-state\">the 34th highest\u003c/a> of all 50 states. The state also has a progressive income tax rate while other states have a flat rate for all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Gas prices\u003c/strong>: It is true. California does have the highest gas price of all states, at $4.76 a gallon as of today, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">according to the AAA\u003c/a>. The national average is $3.23.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Unauthorized immigrants\u003c/strong>: California is estimated to have the largest population of undocumented immigrants, at \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">1.8 million\u003c/a>, based on a Pew Research Center estimate of 2022 Census figures. But California is also the only state where that population decreased from 2019 to 2022, while the populations in Republican-led Florida and Texas grew the most.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Utility rates\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a\">As of June\u003c/a>, Hawaii — not California — had the highest electricity rates, averaging 42.4 cents per kilowatt hour for residential customers, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In California, residential customers paid an average of 33.0 cents per kilowatt hour. \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/living/monthly-utility-costs-by-state/#states_with_the_most_expensive_utilities_section\">A Forbes analysis\u003c/a> of monthly utility bills by state ranked Alaska the most expensive, followed by Hawaii, Connecticut, West Virginia and Georgia.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Worst state to start a business\u003c/strong>: It depends which ranking you look at, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/best-states-to-start-a-business/#state_by_state_ranking_the_best_states_to_start_a_business_section\">according to Forbes\u003c/a>, California is the 37th best state to start a business this year.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Crime in California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> Trump blamed the “destruction” of San Francisco on Gov. Gavin Newsom and Harris. He said murders rose “significantly” and car thefts “went through the roof” while Harris was state attorney general. He argued that Harris was lenient in prosecuting several cases, that she had endorsed defunding the police and that “the police don’t endorse her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crime stats\u003c/strong>: When Harris was California attorney general between 2011 and 2017, homicide rates fluctuated, with an average of 1,819 homicides — or 4.7 per 100,000 people — each year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/Crime%20In%20CA%202022f.pdf\">the state Department of Justice\u003c/a>. Vehicle thefts ebbed and flowed, averaging 164,000 or 424.9 per 100,000 people. Both rates were far lower than during the 1990s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Leniency\u003c/strong>: Despite claims she’s soft on crime, Harris has a mixed record. As a local prosecutor, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">did not pursue the death penalty against a cop killer\u003c/a> — a case Trump used during the press conference to justify his claim. But years later, Harris prosecuted a woman with mental illness for assaulting police officers. As California’s attorney general, Harris defended \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">the state’s death penalty\u003c/a> even though she personally opposed it. Harris remained neutral on various ballot measures about reducing penalties for low-level offenses and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/29/kamala-harris-california-criminal-justice-00171490\">allowing earlier release for more offenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Defund the police\u003c/strong>: It is true that Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/30/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-false-statement-that-kamala-h/\">expressed support for redirecting some money\u003c/a> and “reimagining” public safety during her 2020 presidential campaign, weeks after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking waves of protests against law enforcement. “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said at the time. After President Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate, however, she denounced the “defund” movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Police endorsements\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4865127-law-enforcement-endorse-kamala-harris/\">More than 100 law enforcement officials\u003c/a> — including sheriffs, former and current police chiefs and FBI agents — endorsed Harris last week.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004813\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004813\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Several people are seating facing a split screen showing a man and woman.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People watch the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at KQED headquarters in San Francisco on Sept. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Florence Middleton/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Immigration and the border\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> He lambasted Harris for supporting “sanctuary cities” for undocumented immigrants while she was San Francisco’s district attorney, claiming she shielded “illegal aliens” who committed murders and refused to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sanctuary city policy\u003c/strong>: The San Francisco city ordinance — which prevented officials from handing over unauthorized migrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement even if they committed a felony — \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/trumps-false-and-misleading-claims-about-harris-record-on-crime/\">dates to 1985\u003c/a>. It was originally aimed at protecting asylum seekers from El Salvador and Guatemala, but was extended in 1989 to cover all immigrants. Harris — who was district attorney from 2004 to 2011 — \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/11/politics/kfile-kamala-harris-undocumented-juveniles/index.html\">supported changing the policy\u003c/a> to report undocumented immigrants arrested on suspicion of a felony in 2008.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prosecuting unauthorized immigrants\u003c/strong>: Trump said Harris offered sanctuary in 2008 to Edwin Ramos, a Salvadoran migrant who was charged with three counts of murder and who had prior convictions for assault and attempted robbery. Similarly, Trump mentioned the case of Rony Aguilera, a Honduran immigrant who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 2008. It is true city officials did not turn him over to federal agents at the time — under the sanctuary city policy that Harris helped change that year. Ramos was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/SF-killer-Edwin-Ramos-sentenced-in-triple-slaying-3625545.php\">sentenced to life in prison in 2014\u003c/a>, and Aguilera was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/s-f-gang-member-sentenced-in-teen-s-slaying-4847595.php\">in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Homelessness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> “After Kamala Harris and Gavin Newscum took charge of San Francisco, homelessness increased by over 200%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong> Homelessness has grown in California, but not by that much.

California does have the highest gas price of all states, at $4.76 a gallon as of today, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">according to the AAA\u003c/a>.

Gavin Newsom and Harris. He said murders rose “significantly” and car thefts “went through the roof” while Harris was state attorney general. He argued that Harris was lenient in prosecuting several cases, that she had endorsed defunding the police and that “the police don’t endorse her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crime stats\u003c/strong>: When Harris was California attorney general between 2011 and 2017, homicide rates fluctuated, with an average of 1,819 homicides — or 4.7 per 100,000 people — each year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/Crime%20In%20CA%202022f.pdf\">the state Department of Justice\u003c/a>. Vehicle thefts ebbed and flowed, averaging 164,000 or 424.9 per 100,000 people. Both rates were far lower than during the 1990s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Leniency\u003c/strong>: Despite claims she’s soft on crime, Harris has a mixed record. As a local prosecutor, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">did not pursue the death penalty against a cop killer\u003c/a> — a case Trump used during the press conference to justify his claim. But years later, Harris prosecuted a woman with mental illness for assaulting police officers. As California’s attorney general, Harris defended \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">the state’s death penalty\u003c/a> even though she personally opposed it. Harris remained neutral on various ballot measures about reducing penalties for low-level offenses and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/29/kamala-harris-california-criminal-justice-00171490\">allowing earlier release for more offenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Defund the police\u003c/strong>: It is true that Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/30/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-false-statement-that-kamala-h/\">expressed support for redirecting some money\u003c/a> and “reimagining” public safety during her 2020 presidential campaign, weeks after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking waves of protests against law enforcement. “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said at the time. After President Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate, however, she denounced the “defund” movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Police endorsements\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4865127-law-enforcement-endorse-kamala-harris/\">More than 100 law enforcement officials\u003c/a> — including sheriffs, former and current police chiefs and FBI agents — endorsed Harris last week.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004813\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004813\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Several people are seating facing a split screen showing a man and woman.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People watch the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at KQED headquarters in San Francisco on Sept. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Florence Middleton/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Immigration and the border\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> He lambasted Harris for supporting “sanctuary cities” for undocumented immigrants while she was San Francisco’s district attorney, claiming she shielded “illegal aliens” who committed murders and refused to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sanctuary city policy\u003c/strong>: The San Francisco city ordinance — which prevented officials from handing over unauthorized migrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement even if they committed a felony — \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/trumps-false-and-misleading-claims-about-harris-record-on-crime/\">dates to 1985\u003c/a>.

Similarly, Trump mentioned the case of Rony Aguilera, a Honduran immigrant who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 2008. It is true city officials did not turn him over to federal agents at the time — under the sanctuary city policy that Harris helped change that year. Ramos was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/SF-killer-Edwin-Ramos-sentenced-in-triple-slaying-3625545.php\">sentenced to life in prison in 2014\u003c/a>, and Aguilera was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/s-f-gang-member-sentenced-in-teen-s-slaying-4847595.php\">in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Homelessness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> “After Kamala Harris and Gavin Newscum took charge of San Francisco, homelessness increased by over 200%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong> Homelessness has grown in California, but not by that much.

The former president added a message: “I accept!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tuesday’s debate, Swift expressed alarm over the doctored image in \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C_wtAOKOW1z/\">her Instagram post\u003c/a> endorsing Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she wrote. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter.

The calls told voters to “save their vote” for the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12000310 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240815-CITYATTORNEYDEEPFAKES-06-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was discouraging people from turning out to the primary in New Hampshire, and that’s not inflammatory, but it can be substantially more effective,” Hansen said. “I think a lot of the highest impact things that we’ll see before and during the election are of that type.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To show what AI is capable of, CivAI has been modeling other ways that it could be used to impact voting in the run-up to election day. Hansen said that could look like doctored news articles that resemble real publications publicizing a fake suspected shooting near a polling place or misinformation telling voters that they can avoid paying to park at a polling place by showing up to a certain location during a very tight time frame, “close to when polls close and not a legitimate place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s more likely that voters will be tricked by this kind of AI-generated content than by deepfakes of the candidates or celebrities like Swift, according to Hansen, who expects to see production of this kind of content ramp up — especially in swing states and targeting swing voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another CivAI model shows how AI might use highly personalized content to target voters. One of its demos uses LinkedIn to find out a person’s top concerns and writes them an email about a fake, plausible-sounding tax or regulation supposedly proposed by a candidate on one of those issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansen tried it out on his sister, a freelance artist. The email to her said Biden planned to impose additional taxes on freelancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s so targeted and so specific that a lot of people just wouldn’t think that’s possible to do right now at any sort of automated level,” Hansen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Mehta Stein, the executive director of the nonpartisan watchdog group Common Cause, said that conspiracy theorists who believe election fraud is rampant could also use AI to mimic the sophisticated systems that elections officials run to detect duplicate voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can use AI to mimic that work, but with none of the controls and none of the safeguards” that elections officials use, he said. “You can create hugely erroneous lists of voters that you want to challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inflammatory content is also still a concern, especially as high-performing AI tools become more accessible. About a month ago, X added a beta version of Grok 2.0 for its premium members, which is an AI image generation feature using a tool from Black Forest Labs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the first extremely easily available image generation tool that’s high quality,” Hansen told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12002254 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/ScottWienerAP1-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though many people can detect such deepfakes, some are tougher to spot, he said — like one photo posted on X of Trump giving a thumbs up, surrounded by people wearing shirts that say “Walz’s for Trump.” It was captioned, “The *entire* Tim Walz Family just endorsed Donald J. TRUMP for President 2024!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/walz-family-nebraska-trump-elelction-2f2e29586b0e9ebe094ff2cf546e1ae4\">\u003cem>Associated Press\u003c/em>\u003c/a> confirmed that some distant cousins of the Democratic vice presidential nominee did pose for a separate photo in Trump shirts, the image that showed Trump surrounded by supposed Walz relatives was AI-generated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansen said that even as someone with a lot of experience detecting deepfake images, this one didn’t have any of the normal “tells,” like messed up hands or background blurring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he said these images are often debunked and mostly sow division, he “expect[s] that we’ll see a large increase in the volume of those sorts of debates as a result of how accessible Grok is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein said the most significant risk could be how this content affects voters’ trust in politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger is not that 10,000 voters will be deceived by a deepfake and change who they’re voting for,” though it’s possible, he said. “The danger is that 10 million voters who are awash in disinformation between now and Election Day throw up their hands and say, ‘Forget it, I’m not voting at all.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bigger impact of the fake photos of Swift might be her response itself — since her post pointing people to vote.gov, the site has received more than 337,000 visits as of Wednesday afternoon, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/elenammoore/status/1833936170301960507?s=46&t=7BBzFwo6eYLzJIVfAlumEQ\">according to \u003cem>NPR\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/election-2024/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November election\u003c/a> carries major implications for Californians’ access to health care and the cost they pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While neither candidate has put forth a comprehensive \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/health-care/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health care\u003c/a> agenda, both have track records from their respective time in the White House or previous posts that offer a glimpse on where they might stand on key health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of health care is a top concern for Californians and voters across the nation, millions of whom are saddled with medical debt or take less medication than prescribed because of the cost. While both candidates have acknowledged that health costs are a major burden to Americans, the difference will be in how they go about providing relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How the next president goes about strengthening — or chipping away — at the Affordable Care Act and abortion rights will also directly affect voters’ lives. Below are examples of both candidates’ records on key health issues and what they’ve promised to voters so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The future of the Affordable Care Act\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP.\u003c/strong> Trump, as president, tried and failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the signature legislative achievement of his predecessor, Barack Obama. As recently as last year, Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/trump-doubles-saying-obamacare-sucks-must-replaced-rcna126978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vowed to try again if he’s reelected\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of overhauling the health law would be a much harder sell today than in Trump’s presidency, some experts say, because the law is generally more popular. Some Republicans who opposed the law in the past have come to accept that it is here to stay or have moved on to other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, Trump says he \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/us/politics/trump-biden-affordable-care-act.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wants to “improve” the Affordable Care Act\u003c/a> and make it “less expensive.” He hasn’t offered any details as to what that would entail, but experts say any changes would likely come in the form of chipping away at certain provisions of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, as president, made one major change to the Affordable Care Act: He signed a tax cut law that also eliminated a penalty levied on people without health insurance. The idea behind this provision of the Affordable Care Act was that a penalty, charged when people filed their income taxes, would encourage people to sign up for health insurance. And getting more people insured, especially the young and healthy, drives down the cost of coverage for everyone. Today, uninsured \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/03/california-health-insurance-penalty/\">Californians still pay a penalty\u003c/a> of up to $850 per adult because Gov. Gavin Newsom enacted a state version of this mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS.\u003c/strong> During \u003ca href=\"https://kamalaharris.medium.com/my-plan-for-medicare-for-all-7730370dd421\">her 2019 presidential campaign\u003c/a>, Harris promoted a version of Medicare for All, a government-run single-payer system. Today, health policy experts expect Harris to continue the current administration’s efforts to promote and build on the Affordable Care Act rather than move the country toward a new system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some California lawmakers are still interested in exploring a single-payer-like health care system. Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb770\">Newsom signed a law\u003c/a> directing the state to map out the next \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2023/07/single-payer-health-care/\">steps in creating a “unified financing” system\u003c/a> that would cover all Californians. Getting anywhere near this goal will require federal permission and resources, which are more likely to happen under a Harris administration, experts involved in these discussions say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A Harris presidency, I think, is going to view a waiver application from the state of California favorably,” said Gerald Kominski, a senior fellow at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, who has served as a consultant to a state commission exploring this issue. “It’s not to say that it will sail through…getting a waiver to pool federal and state funding is still going to be a challenge, but I think her administration is going to find a way to work with California to make it happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More people than ever, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/where-aca-marketplace-enrollment-is-growing-the-fastest-and-why/\">21 million\u003c/a>, signed up for health insurance under \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/affordable-care-act/\">Affordable Care Act \u003c/a>exchanges in 2024. Marketplace officials across the country say that’s in part because of the increased premium subsidies made available under the COVID-19 relief laws known as the American Rescue Plan and later the Inflation Reduction Act. That enhanced financial aid is currently set to expire at the end of 2025. About 90% of enrollees in Covered California receive financial assistance. The odds of continuing that enhanced aid are better under a Harris administration, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The cost of health care\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS.\u003c/strong> As attorney general of California, Harris went after large health companies by moving to restrict mergers and investigate anti-competitive behaviors that research shows can drive up the cost of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She launched an investigation into several California health systems, examining their market power and their influence on prices. That investigation led her successor, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, to file a lawsuit against Sutter Health, a nonprofit hospital and clinic system in Northern California. In the lawsuit, Becerra accused Sutter of using its market power to drive up prices in Northern California. In 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/california-ag-details-historic-settlement-agreement-in-sutter-health-antitrust-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sutter settled the case for $575 million\u003c/a>, although it did not admit wrongdoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has also taken a leading role in the current administration’s efforts to address the medical debt that burdens millions of families. In June, she proposed rules to remove medical debt from credit reports. California lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/08/medical-debt-credit-score/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have a similar proposal\u003c/a> currently sitting on Newsom’s desk. About 4 in 10 Californians report having some type of medical debt, according to the California Health Care Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Harris’ campaign promises: “Work with states to cancel medical debt for millions of Americans.” While she hasn’t said how exactly she plans to do this, her work with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper may offer a preview: Starting next year, North Carolina will roll out a program that incentivizes hospitals to forgive patients’ medical debt in exchange for additional Medicaid dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP.\u003c/strong> Perhaps some of Trump’s most significant contributions to reining in health care costs came in the form of price transparency rules. He signed an executive order that led to requirements for hospitals to disclose prices for common services on their websites. And in 2020, Trump signed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/no-surprises-understand-your-rights-against-surprise-medical-bills\">No Surprises Act\u003c/a>, a law designed to protect consumers against surprise medical bills when receiving care from out-of-network providers. This often happens when people receive emergency care and are not in a position to choose their providers. Surprise medical bills\u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/health-costs/press-release/a-polling-surprise-americans-rank-unexpected-medical-bills-at-top-of-family-budget-worries/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> tend to rank among the public’s top concerns\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration greenlit some major health care mergers, but it did so with certain conditions signaling some caution in approving such deals. One example — CVS Health’s $69 billion acquisition of insurance giant Aetna, one of the biggest health mergers of all time. Aetna and CVS Health were competitors in the sale of Medicare drug plans. As a condition to approve the merger, Trump’s Department of Justice required that Aetna sell part of its Medicare drug business to another company as a way to preserve competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That one was really contentious, and it took a long time, but we definitely didn’t see a rubber stamp,” said Rachel Nuzum, senior vice president of policy at The Commonwealth Fund. “There was an acknowledgment that the size and scope of these mergers could be problematic for consumers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Abortion in the 2024 election\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12003015\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12003015\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd of people on the street march holding pink signs above their heads.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pro-abortion rights supporters marched in protest of a Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe vs. Wade in Sacramento on June 25, 2022. \u003ccite>(Miguel Gutierrez Jr./CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP.\u003c/strong> No other health issue has received as much attention this election cycle as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/abortion\">abortion and reproductive health\u003c/a>. In California, Democrats have tried to cement abortion rights into state law, and this is often the first issue they use to go after Trump. That’s because the Supreme Court justices he appointed made the difference in overturning the 1973 ruling that had protected abortion rights, Roe v. Wade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has given inconsistent messages about abortion rights. Earlier this year, Trump made headlines for suggesting that if he were reelected, he’d support \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-abortion-ban-15-weeks-91a9e0ce87d11dff0fa761f327bd0566\">a national ban on abortion\u003c/a> at 15 weeks of pregnancy. A few weeks later, he changed his tune, saying abortion \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/08/trump-says-abortion-is-up-to-the-states-declines-to-endorse-national-limit-00151022\">should be left up to the states\u003c/a>. He has indicated that he would not ban mail delivery of medication abortion pills and has said he wants insurance \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-08-29/trump-calls-for-universal-coverage-of-ivf-treatment-with-no-specifics-on-how-his-plan-would-work\">to cover the cost of in vitro fertilization treatment, or IVF\u003c/a>, “because we want more babies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS. \u003c/strong>Harris has leaned heavily into\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/abortion-in-california-laws/\"> abortion and reproductive rights\u003c/a>, an issue she has remained consistent on throughout her career. She is often the voice and face for reproductive health in Biden’s administration and has expressed support for restoring abortion access through federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As vice president, she launched a nationwide tour to promote reproductive rights with events across the country. It included a visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic, reportedly\u003ca href=\"https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/tipsheets/the-quickie-kamala-harris-makes-history-as-first-vice-president-to-tour-a-planned-parenthood-health-center\"> the first ever such visit\u003c/a> by a sitting VP or president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As attorney general in California, Harris sponsored state law that aimed to regulate crisis pregnancy centers. These are often religiously affiliated and known for trying to prevent women from getting abortions. The law required these centers to display a notice letting people know that comprehensive family planning services, including contraception and abortion, were available through state programs. The U.S. Supreme Court eventually overturned that law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How they’d curb prescription drug prices\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12003013\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12003013\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05.jpg\" alt=\"A view of various medications in a pharmacy with a person wearing a lab coat in the background.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shelves full of prescription medication at La Clinic pharmacy in Oakland on Sept. 26, 2019. \u003ccite>(Anne Wernikoff/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP. \u003c/strong>Trump often takes credit for lowering the price of insulin for millions of Americans — \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/12/donald-trump/trump-wrong-in-claiming-full-credit-for-lowering-i/\">but that’s not totally accurate\u003c/a>. What his administration did was establish a temporary program known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/innovation-models/part-d-savings-model\">Part D Senior Savings Model\u003c/a>. This program reduced copayments for insulin to $35 a month for about 800,000 seniors on certain Medicare plans. It lasted two years, expiring at the end of 2023. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/the-facts-about-the-35-insulin-copay-cap-in-medicare/\">The Biden administration went further\u003c/a> in the Inflation Reduction Act, which included a provision that capped insulin copay prices at $35 a month for about 3.3 million Medicare beneficiaries.[aside postID=\"news_12001799,news_11997351,news_12002132\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also took the first steps to allow states \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/health/drug-prices-imports-canada.html\">to import prescription drugs from Canada\u003c/a> as a way to increase competition and lower drug prices.

This idea came to fruition earlier this year when the FDA approved Florida’s plan to import prescription drugs to treat HIV/AIDS, mental illness and prostate cancer. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that importing medications from Canada will \u003ca href=\"https://www.flgov.com/2024/01/05/florida-becomes-first-in-the-nation-to-have-canadian-drug-importation-program-approved-by-fda/\">save the state about $180 million\u003c/a> in year one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS. \u003c/strong>In addition to expanding insulin copay caps to more seniors, Biden-Harris’ Inflation Reduction Act also directed the agency to negotiate drug prices with manufacturers for certain high-cost drugs covered under Medicare. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/files/document/fact-sheet-medicare-selected-drug-negotiation-list-ipay-2026.pdf\">10 drugs in the first round of negotiations\u003c/a> included medications to treat diabetes, heart failure, blood clots and rheumatoid arthritis.

The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/election-2024/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November election\u003c/a> carries major implications for Californians’ access to health care and the cost they pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While neither candidate has put forth a comprehensive \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/health-care/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health care\u003c/a> agenda, both have track records from their respective time in the White House or previous posts that offer a glimpse on where they might stand on key health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of health care is a top concern for Californians and voters across the nation, millions of whom are saddled with medical debt or take less medication than prescribed because of the cost. While both candidates have acknowledged that health costs are a major burden to Americans, the difference will be in how they go about providing relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How the next president goes about strengthening — or chipping away — at the Affordable Care Act and abortion rights will also directly affect voters’ lives.

Some Republicans who opposed the law in the past have come to accept that it is here to stay or have moved on to other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, Trump says he \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/us/politics/trump-biden-affordable-care-act.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wants to “improve” the Affordable Care Act\u003c/a> and make it “less expensive.” He hasn’t offered any details as to what that would entail, but experts say any changes would likely come in the form of chipping away at certain provisions of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, as president, made one major change to the Affordable Care Act: He signed a tax cut law that also eliminated a penalty levied on people without health insurance. The idea behind this provision of the Affordable Care Act was that a penalty, charged when people filed their income taxes, would encourage people to sign up for health insurance. And getting more people insured, especially the young and healthy, drives down the cost of coverage for everyone. Today, uninsured \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/03/california-health-insurance-penalty/\">Californians still pay a penalty\u003c/a> of up to $850 per adult because Gov. Gavin Newsom enacted a state version of this mandate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS.\u003c/strong> During \u003ca href=\"https://kamalaharris.medium.com/my-plan-for-medicare-for-all-7730370dd421\">her 2019 presidential campaign\u003c/a>, Harris promoted a version of Medicare for All, a government-run single-payer system. Today, health policy experts expect Harris to continue the current administration’s efforts to promote and build on the Affordable Care Act rather than move the country toward a new system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some California lawmakers are still interested in exploring a single-payer-like health care system. Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb770\">Newsom signed a law\u003c/a> directing the state to map out the next \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2023/07/single-payer-health-care/\">steps in creating a “unified financing” system\u003c/a> that would cover all Californians. Getting anywhere near this goal will require federal permission and resources, which are more likely to happen under a Harris administration, experts involved in these discussions say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A Harris presidency, I think, is going to view a waiver application from the state of California favorably,” said Gerald Kominski, a senior fellow at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, who has served as a consultant to a state commission exploring this issue. “It’s not to say that it will sail through…getting a waiver to pool federal and state funding is still going to be a challenge, but I think her administration is going to find a way to work with California to make it happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More people than ever, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/where-aca-marketplace-enrollment-is-growing-the-fastest-and-why/\">21 million\u003c/a>, signed up for health insurance under \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/affordable-care-act/\">Affordable Care Act \u003c/a>exchanges in 2024. Marketplace officials across the country say that’s in part because of the increased premium subsidies made available under the COVID-19 relief laws known as the American Rescue Plan and later the Inflation Reduction Act. That enhanced financial aid is currently set to expire at the end of 2025. About 90% of enrollees in Covered California receive financial assistance. The odds of continuing that enhanced aid are better under a Harris administration, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The cost of health care\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS.\u003c/strong> As attorney general of California, Harris went after large health companies by moving to restrict mergers and investigate anti-competitive behaviors that research shows can drive up the cost of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She launched an investigation into several California health systems, examining their market power and their influence on prices. That investigation led her successor, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, to file a lawsuit against Sutter Health, a nonprofit hospital and clinic system in Northern California. In the lawsuit, Becerra accused Sutter of using its market power to drive up prices in Northern California. In 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/california-ag-details-historic-settlement-agreement-in-sutter-health-antitrust-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sutter settled the case for $575 million\u003c/a>, although it did not admit wrongdoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has also taken a leading role in the current administration’s efforts to address the medical debt that burdens millions of families. In June, she proposed rules to remove medical debt from credit reports. California lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/2024/08/medical-debt-credit-score/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have a similar proposal\u003c/a> currently sitting on Newsom’s desk. About 4 in 10 Californians report having some type of medical debt, according to the California Health Care Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Harris’ campaign promises: “Work with states to cancel medical debt for millions of Americans.” While she hasn’t said how exactly she plans to do this, her work with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper may offer a preview: Starting next year, North Carolina will roll out a program that incentivizes hospitals to forgive patients’ medical debt in exchange for additional Medicaid dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP.\u003c/strong> Perhaps some of Trump’s most significant contributions to reining in health care costs came in the form of price transparency rules. He signed an executive order that led to requirements for hospitals to disclose prices for common services on their websites. And in 2020, Trump signed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/no-surprises-understand-your-rights-against-surprise-medical-bills\">No Surprises Act\u003c/a>, a law designed to protect consumers against surprise medical bills when receiving care from out-of-network providers. This often happens when people receive emergency care and are not in a position to choose their providers. Surprise medical bills\u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/health-costs/press-release/a-polling-surprise-americans-rank-unexpected-medical-bills-at-top-of-family-budget-worries/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> tend to rank among the public’s top concerns\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration greenlit some major health care mergers, but it did so with certain conditions signaling some caution in approving such deals. One example — CVS Health’s $69 billion acquisition of insurance giant Aetna, one of the biggest health mergers of all time. Aetna and CVS Health were competitors in the sale of Medicare drug plans. As a condition to approve the merger, Trump’s Department of Justice required that Aetna sell part of its Medicare drug business to another company as a way to preserve competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That one was really contentious, and it took a long time, but we definitely didn’t see a rubber stamp,” said Rachel Nuzum, senior vice president of policy at The Commonwealth Fund. “There was an acknowledgment that the size and scope of these mergers could be problematic for consumers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Abortion in the 2024 election\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12003015\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12003015\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2.jpg\" alt=\"A crowd of people on the street march holding pink signs above their heads.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Roe-Wade-Abortion-Protest-MG-07-CM-2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pro-abortion rights supporters marched in protest of a Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe vs. Wade in Sacramento on June 25, 2022. \u003ccite>(Miguel Gutierrez Jr./CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP.\u003c/strong> No other health issue has received as much attention this election cycle as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/abortion\">abortion and reproductive health\u003c/a>. In California, Democrats have tried to cement abortion rights into state law, and this is often the first issue they use to go after Trump. That’s because the Supreme Court justices he appointed made the difference in overturning the 1973 ruling that had protected abortion rights, Roe v. Wade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has given inconsistent messages about abortion rights. Earlier this year, Trump made headlines for suggesting that if he were reelected, he’d support \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/trump-abortion-ban-15-weeks-91a9e0ce87d11dff0fa761f327bd0566\">a national ban on abortion\u003c/a> at 15 weeks of pregnancy. A few weeks later, he changed his tune, saying abortion \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/08/trump-says-abortion-is-up-to-the-states-declines-to-endorse-national-limit-00151022\">should be left up to the states\u003c/a>. He has indicated that he would not ban mail delivery of medication abortion pills and has said he wants insurance \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-08-29/trump-calls-for-universal-coverage-of-ivf-treatment-with-no-specifics-on-how-his-plan-would-work\">to cover the cost of in vitro fertilization treatment, or IVF\u003c/a>, “because we want more babies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARRIS. \u003c/strong>Harris has leaned heavily into\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/abortion-in-california-laws/\"> abortion and reproductive rights\u003c/a>, an issue she has remained consistent on throughout her career. She is often the voice and face for reproductive health in Biden’s administration and has expressed support for restoring abortion access through federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As vice president, she launched a nationwide tour to promote reproductive rights with events across the country. It included a visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic, reportedly\u003ca href=\"https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/tipsheets/the-quickie-kamala-harris-makes-history-as-first-vice-president-to-tour-a-planned-parenthood-health-center\"> the first ever such visit\u003c/a> by a sitting VP or president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As attorney general in California, Harris sponsored state law that aimed to regulate crisis pregnancy centers. These are often religiously affiliated and known for trying to prevent women from getting abortions. The law required these centers to display a notice letting people know that comprehensive family planning services, including contraception and abortion, were available through state programs. The U.S. Supreme Court eventually overturned that law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How they’d curb prescription drug prices\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12003013\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12003013\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05.jpg\" alt=\"A view of various medications in a pharmacy with a person wearing a lab coat in the background.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/092619_laclinica_AW_CM_05-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shelves full of prescription medication at La Clinic pharmacy in Oakland on Sept. 26, 2019. \u003ccite>(Anne Wernikoff/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TRUMP. \u003c/strong>Trump often takes credit for lowering the price of insulin for millions of Americans — \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/12/donald-trump/trump-wrong-in-claiming-full-credit-for-lowering-i/\">but that’s not totally accurate\u003c/a>.

As the crowd of 15,000 — the largest of the 2024 Democratic presidential campaign — waited for Vice President Kamala Harris, some began to faint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t stop the supporters from bursting into waves of deafening cheers that lasted two minutes as Harris took the stage. It was what her new running mate, Minnesota Gov.

She also agreed to the first debate with Trump on Sept. 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ California roots are already under attack. Labeling her as a “California radical” and “\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/07/25/california-long-a-conservative-foil-is-a-likely-trump-target-with-kamala-harris-as-rival/\">San Francisco liberal\u003c/a>,” Republicans have hammered her stances, particularly on crime and immigration. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the GOP nominee for vice president, is trailing Harris’ travels this week and holding press events to criticize her.

The county went for Democrat Barack Obama twice before favoring Trump in 2016 and 2020. Taylor, who now identifies with neither major party, supported Trump in 2016 but voted for \u003ca href=\"https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2020/03/11/sterling-heights-mayor-michael-taylor-joe-biden-primary/5021236002/\">Biden in 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is perceived as elitist and progressive and seems distant to a lot of Macomb County voters, sometimes even himself, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sense that from talking to Republicans. There’s this conflict between the real America and the America of the little blue islands along the coasts,” he said. “When you talk to some people, they almost act like California is a different country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s true for Republican Cheryl Costantino, a teacher in Macomb County’s Shelby Township: “To us, California is like its own weird, liberal place where people poop on the sidewalks and live in tents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClellan Grote, a registered independent and nuclear engineer from Gilbert, Arizona, hesitates to vote for Harris. Although he supported Trump twice and still favors his policies, Grote said he must vote against Trump’s vitriol. But he’s reluctant to support Harris, partly due to the liberal image of California and Newsom, who Grote also calls “Newscum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That perception represents a “key vulnerability” that Harris must overcome to win moderate voters, said Matt Grossmann, a political science professor at Michigan State University. Historically, Black and female candidates are considered more liberal than white men, he said, and Harris’ history representing a largely Democratic state, particularly in the U.S. Senate, may cement that impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are hoping to cash in on that exact sentiment. In a National Republican Senatorial Committee memo, executive director Jason Thielman deemed Harris a “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/rbeggin/status/1815469097045692658/photo/1\">radical” from San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s too soon to tell if those attacks have dented her support, Grossmann noted that down-ballot Democrats in swing states \u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-06-27/is-nancy-pelosi-worth-the-trouble\">have suffered\u003c/a> in previous elections\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>when tied to \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/17/nancy-pelosi-democrats-california\">former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco\u003c/a>. “That gives (us) a reason to expect that the same attacks would be successful against Harris,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person who may help counter those critiques is Walz, whom Democrats are counting on to help connect with Midwesterners with his rural roots and his background as a gun owner, hunter, public school teacher and veteran. The Trump campaign, on other hand, \u003ca href=\"https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-campaign-blasts-tim-walz-as-west-coast-wannabe/ar-AA1olntU?ocid=BingNewsSerp\">quickly tried to paint Walz\u003c/a> in an emailed statement as a “West Coast wannabe” who wants to spread “California’s dangerously liberal agenda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walz is “a perfect description of a Democrat who could win in Macomb County,” said Marlinga, a self-described moderate Democrat who lost by a razor-thin margin to Republican U.S. Rep. John James in 2022 and is set for a rematch this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marlinga called the Minnesota governor a “positive populist” who is easy-going and approachable.

The city’s current struggle with crime is something Harris still should own, Costantino said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that she’s from California should make her more sensitive to those issues, not less sensitive,” Costantino said. “Just because she goes to Washington doesn’t mean that she should be removed from them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, most of the Michigan voters interviewed by CalMatters spoke more about policies from her time as vice president, not while she served in California. While conservative voters blamed the Biden-Harris administration for increases in gas prices, illegal border crossings and national debt, Democrats celebrated her for advocating for abortion rights — \u003ca href=\"https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-proposal-3-supporting-abortion-rights-wins-big\">an issue\u003c/a> that turned out a historic number of Michigan voters in recent elections and \u003ca href=\"https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-women-score-big-poised-key-leadership-legislature\">helped flip the state Legislature blue\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some Michigan voters — both Republicans and Democrats — said they did not know Harris for her time in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joe Koch is a 58-year-old electric operator and a self-described “Christian conservative” in \u003ca href=\"https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigans-political-geography-shifting-these-interactive-maps-show-how\">Clinton Township\u003c/a>, where Biden won by less than 1 percentage point in 2020 after Trump won it by 4 points in 2016.

She also agreed to the first debate with Trump on Sept. 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris’ California roots are already under attack. Labeling her as a “California radical” and “\u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/07/25/california-long-a-conservative-foil-is-a-likely-trump-target-with-kamala-harris-as-rival/\">San Francisco liberal\u003c/a>,” Republicans have hammered her stances, particularly on crime and immigration. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, the GOP nominee for vice president, is trailing Harris’ travels this week and holding press events to criticize her. Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/trump-looking-to-reassert-himself-in-2024-race-dares-harris-on-debates-and-interviews/ar-AA1otMdJ?ocid=BingNewsSerp\">told reporters at Mar-a-Lago\u003c/a> on Thursday: “She destroyed the state of California along with Gov.

The county went for Democrat Barack Obama twice before favoring Trump in 2016 and 2020. Taylor, who now identifies with neither major party, supported Trump in 2016 but voted for \u003ca href=\"https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2020/03/11/sterling-heights-mayor-michael-taylor-joe-biden-primary/5021236002/\">Biden in 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is perceived as elitist and progressive and seems distant to a lot of Macomb County voters, sometimes even himself, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I sense that from talking to Republicans. There’s this conflict between the real America and the America of the little blue islands along the coasts,” he said. “When you talk to some people, they almost act like California is a different country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s true for Republican Cheryl Costantino, a teacher in Macomb County’s Shelby Township: “To us, California is like its own weird, liberal place where people poop on the sidewalks and live in tents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClellan Grote, a registered independent and nuclear engineer from Gilbert, Arizona, hesitates to vote for Harris. Although he supported Trump twice and still favors his policies, Grote said he must vote against Trump’s vitriol. But he’s reluctant to support Harris, partly due to the liberal image of California and Newsom, who Grote also calls “Newscum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That perception represents a “key vulnerability” that Harris must overcome to win moderate voters, said Matt Grossmann, a political science professor at Michigan State University. Historically, Black and female candidates are considered more liberal than white men, he said, and Harris’ history representing a largely Democratic state, particularly in the U.S. Senate, may cement that impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are hoping to cash in on that exact sentiment. In a National Republican Senatorial Committee memo, executive director Jason Thielman deemed Harris a “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/rbeggin/status/1815469097045692658/photo/1\">radical” from San Francisco\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s too soon to tell if those attacks have dented her support, Grossmann noted that down-ballot Democrats in swing states \u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-06-27/is-nancy-pelosi-worth-the-trouble\">have suffered\u003c/a> in previous elections\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>when tied to \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/oct/17/nancy-pelosi-democrats-california\">former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco\u003c/a>. “That gives (us) a reason to expect that the same attacks would be successful against Harris,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person who may help counter those critiques is Walz, whom Democrats are counting on to help connect with Midwesterners with his rural roots and his background as a gun owner, hunter, public school teacher and veteran. The Trump campaign, on other hand, \u003ca href=\"https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-campaign-blasts-tim-walz-as-west-coast-wannabe/ar-AA1olntU?ocid=BingNewsSerp\">quickly tried to paint Walz\u003c/a> in an emailed statement as a “West Coast wannabe” who wants to spread “California’s dangerously liberal agenda.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walz is “a perfect description of a Democrat who could win in Macomb County,” said Marlinga, a self-described moderate Democrat who lost by a razor-thin margin to Republican U.S. Rep. John James in 2022 and is set for a rematch this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marlinga called the Minnesota governor a “positive populist” who is easy-going and approachable.

She said she only began to notice Harris when she was in the U.S. Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t matter whether she’s from California, Hawaii, Timbuktu. Doesn’t matter.

Ron DeSantis, Trump started to do these little videos articulating what they called Agenda 47: What he would do when he came back in office. And most of them were very responsive to whatever the hot issue on Fox News, and in the right, happened to be at the moment … all these really random things.\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/18/trump-has-unveiled-an-agenda-his-own-he-just-doesnt-mention-it-much/\"> [See Bump’s searchable tool for Agenda 47 for \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em>.] \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fundamentally … he doesn’t want to offer a lot of specifics. This is a guy whose career prior to becoming a politician was a salesman — and not only was he a salesman, he was a guy selling real estate in New York. Which is, you know, like selling used cars in Topeka. This is not someone whose track record of salesmanship is rooted in the most robust ethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so he doesn’t \u003cem>want \u003c/em>to commit. He wants to tell people what he wants to tell them in order to make the sale, and so that means being very vague. He frames this as being part of his art in negotiation. … But it’s really fundamentally about telling as few people as possible something they don’t want to hear so that he can maximize the number of people who might be receptive to his candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>It benefits Trump to deny any association with Project 2025\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First of all, I think it’s fundamentally dishonest. You can’t both say, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and “I disagree with some of its elements.” Like that doesn’t make sense, right? But it is about recognizing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/11/nx-s1-5035272/project-2025-trump-biden-heritage-foundation-conservative\">Project 2025 establishes something for Democrats to point at\u003c/a> — it says, “Here are the things that Donald Trump would do.” And it does so very credibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation, which put together Project 2025, did tap a lot of people from Trump World, in part because that’s the locus of power within the political right at this point in time. It has people like John McEntee, who was basically in charge of staffing at the tail end of the Trump administration. It has Russ Vought, who used to run [the U.S. Office of Management and Budget] and has been talked about as being potentially Trump’s chief of staff. And a number of other individuals who participated in Donald Trump’s administration and who are now saying, “Here’s what we think the government should do, should a conservative return to power in the White House” — which, of course, means should Donald Trump be elected in 2024 and take office in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for the Trump campaign, it is crucially urgent … to get people to think that Project 2025 is something else that isn’t theirs, isn’t what they want to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Trump’s campaign was not prepared for their 2016 win — but Project 2025 shows how they’d hit the ground running this time\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I think that part of it is a response to the way in which Trump took power in 2017. It’s important to remember, of course, that no one expected Donald Trump to be taking the presidency. The polling up until the very end showed that he was likely to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, of course, he took power, and he came into the White House with this amalgamation of both the establishment side of the GOP — Reince Priebus, who used to run the actual RNC, and then he had Steve Bannon, representing the fringe right on the other side. And he tried to mesh those things together, and he didn’t know what the balance of his power was, and he was concerned about reelection and all these aspects that were in place in 2017 that won’t be in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We take a lot of exception with Joe Biden. But the one thing I do credit his team with was being prepared. So they were signing things all week long the first week, and we are going to be doing the same.

Even his vague statement about how he disagrees with some of what’s in there, they can apply that to whatever they want to apply to, to say that he disagrees with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s important to recognize, too, that all of this is predicated on, to some extent, the minority position having more power. The minority position in 2016 was that Donald Trump should not be president.

Three of the justices were appointed by Trump after he won only because he liked the Electoral College. Four of the six Republican-nominated justices got votes from senators who represent less than half of the country right there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless he wins the popular vote in November, which is possible … the ways in which he wields power, or plans to wield power, are based on a minority of Americans getting their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025 has openly spoken of ‘revolution’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation was, for a long time, one of the key think tanks on the right in Washington, D.C. And it did the work that right-wing think tanks usually do, which is put together policy proposals and advocate for a reduction in the size of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike some other think tanks, it really leaned into the power shift that accompanied Donald Trump. And part of it, I think, is the advent of Roberts, who has only been there for a couple of years — and the Heritage Foundation has really perceptively shifted in tone since Roberts has been in charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think his “revolution” comments were obviously alarming and, frankly, from the context of the head of the Heritage Foundation, unprecedented. And it was striking to me because he was basically saying that we’re in the process of a second American Revolution, but what he and Project 2025 are advocating for — if we extend that analogy — is not an increase in freedom and independence as the first revolution was fought, but a return to the monarchy and establishing a very powerful, unchecked political figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s sort of another revolution — in reverse.

The lengthy treatise puts forth concrete plans for the next Republican administration to consolidate presidential power, sideline critics and \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/politics/360318/project-2025-trump-policies-abortion-divorce\">implement an extreme religious-right social agenda\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993255/if-trump-wins-project-2025\">It’s not just a policy agenda, though\u003c/a>: The Heritage Foundation has also created a personnel database of pre-vetted conservatives who could serve in the next GOP administration; a training program to get potential personnel up to speed; and a secret plan for the first 180 days of a new Republican administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Heritage announced that its director, Paul Gans, was stepping down but that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/30/g-s1-14455/project-2025-trump-heritage\">Project 2025’s work would now instead be led by its president, Kevin Roberts.\u003c/a> But what is in Project 2025, and how achievable are its aims?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Political Breakdown podcast spoke to Philip Bump, national columnist for \u003cem>The\u003c/em> \u003cem>Washington Post\u003c/em>, to dig into Project 2025 as a right-wing “wish list,” why Trump keeps attempting to publicly disavow it, and how fast a second Trump administration could be able to enact such plans starting January 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for the takeaways from their conversation with Bump about Project 2025, or listen to the audio below (the Project 2025 conversation begins at 10:53.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=KQINC7758550327\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>There’s a reason Trump hasn’t provided many concrete presidential policy plans himself\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Phillip Bump: \u003c/strong>Over the course of the Republican primary, especially before he really started to gain ground against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump started to do these little videos articulating what they called Agenda 47: What he would do when he came back in office. And most of them were very responsive to whatever the hot issue on Fox News, and in the right, happened to be at the moment … all these really random things.\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/18/trump-has-unveiled-an-agenda-his-own-he-just-doesnt-mention-it-much/\"> [See Bump’s searchable tool for Agenda 47 for \u003cem>The Washington Post\u003c/em>.] \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fundamentally … he doesn’t want to offer a lot of specifics. This is a guy whose career prior to becoming a politician was a salesman — and not only was he a salesman, he was a guy selling real estate in New York. Which is, you know, like selling used cars in Topeka. This is not someone whose track record of salesmanship is rooted in the most robust ethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so he doesn’t \u003cem>want \u003c/em>to commit. He wants to tell people what he wants to tell them in order to make the sale, and so that means being very vague. He frames this as being part of his art in negotiation. … But it’s really fundamentally about telling as few people as possible something they don’t want to hear so that he can maximize the number of people who might be receptive to his candidacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>It benefits Trump to deny any association with Project 2025\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First of all, I think it’s fundamentally dishonest. You can’t both say, “I know nothing about Project 2025” and “I disagree with some of its elements.” Like that doesn’t make sense, right? But it is about recognizing that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/11/nx-s1-5035272/project-2025-trump-biden-heritage-foundation-conservative\">Project 2025 establishes something for Democrats to point at\u003c/a> — it says, “Here are the things that Donald Trump would do.” And it does so very credibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation, which put together Project 2025, did tap a lot of people from Trump World, in part because that’s the locus of power within the political right at this point in time. It has people like John McEntee, who was basically in charge of staffing at the tail end of the Trump administration. It has Russ Vought, who used to run [the U.S. Office of Management and Budget] and has been talked about as being potentially Trump’s chief of staff. And a number of other individuals who participated in Donald Trump’s administration and who are now saying, “Here’s what we think the government should do, should a conservative return to power in the White House” — which, of course, means should Donald Trump be elected in 2024 and take office in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for the Trump campaign, it is crucially urgent … to get people to think that Project 2025 is something else that isn’t theirs, isn’t what they want to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Trump’s campaign was not prepared for their 2016 win — but Project 2025 shows how they’d hit the ground running this time\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>I think that part of it is a response to the way in which Trump took power in 2017. It’s important to remember, of course, that no one expected Donald Trump to be taking the presidency. The polling up until the very end showed that he was likely to lose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, of course, he took power, and he came into the White House with this amalgamation of both the establishment side of the GOP — Reince Priebus, who used to run the actual RNC, and then he had Steve Bannon, representing the fringe right on the other side. And he tried to mesh those things together, and he didn’t know what the balance of his power was, and he was concerned about reelection and all these aspects that were in place in 2017 that won’t be in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We take a lot of exception with Joe Biden. But the one thing I do credit his team with was being prepared. So they were signing things all week long the first week, and we are going to be doing the same. We are now in the course of drafting these executive orders, and rethinking and identifying the stuff that needs to come down. We’re not going to wait and do this in the 90 days between the election.

Even his vague statement about how he disagrees with some of what’s in there, they can apply that to whatever they want to apply to, to say that he disagrees with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s important to recognize, too, that all of this is predicated on, to some extent, the minority position having more power. The minority position in 2016 was that Donald Trump should not be president. And then he won because of the Electoral College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court that scaled back \u003ca href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/stories/what-happens-if-supreme-court-ends-chevron-deference\">Chevron deference\u003c/a> and that \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-due-rule-trumps-immunity-bid-blockbuster-case-2024-07-01/\">gave Trump — or presidents — immunity\u003c/a> was one that was appointed. Three of the justices were appointed by Trump after he won only because he liked the Electoral College. Four of the six Republican-nominated justices got votes from senators who represent less than half of the country right there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless he wins the popular vote in November, which is possible … the ways in which he wields power, or plans to wield power, are based on a minority of Americans getting their way.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025 has openly spoken of ‘revolution’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>– Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Heritage Foundation was, for a long time, one of the key think tanks on the right in Washington, D.C. And it did the work that right-wing think tanks usually do, which is put together policy proposals and advocate for a reduction in the size of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike some other think tanks, it really leaned into the power shift that accompanied Donald Trump. And part of it, I think, is the advent of Roberts, who has only been there for a couple of years — and the Heritage Foundation has really perceptively shifted in tone since Roberts has been in charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think his “revolution” comments were obviously alarming and, frankly, from the context of the head of the Heritage Foundation, unprecedented. And it was striking to me because he was basically saying that we’re in the process of a second American Revolution, but what he and Project 2025 are advocating for — if we extend that analogy — is not an increase in freedom and independence as the first revolution was fought, but a return to the monarchy and establishing a very powerful, unchecked political figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s sort of another revolution — in reverse. And I think we’re all praying that it remains “bloodless.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
