By backing Donald Trump, vulnerable House Republicans are embracing his far-right agenda
Trump's Project 2025 is an extreme manifesto that has far-reaching consequences if he and House Republicans are given another term in power.
Project 2025 would dramatically raise costs for hardworking middle class families by:
Increasing taxes for working families and allowing the ultra wealthy to pay less
Cutting taxes for big corporations to 18% from its current 21%
Reducing the capital gains tax which would disproportionately benefit the ultrawealthy
Repealing key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act that are making it more affordable for Americans to weatherize their homes, install new heating or cooling systems, or cut their energy bills
Threatening overtime pay for over 4.3 million people
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
"Vulnerable House Republicans and Donald Trump - through Project 2025 - are hellbent on bailing out billionaires, big corporations, and the ultra wealthy and have no problem raising taxes on hardworking American families to do it. The DCCC will continue to hold them accountable for their harmful agenda over the next 99 days."
