This week, the Congressional Integrity Project continued to drive the narratives against the baseless, fact-free political stunts by MAGA Republicans, aimed to harm President Biden and Vice President Harris ahead of the 2024 election, while convicted felon Trump and his allies are planning Project 2025 and other future threats to democracy.
This week, the Congressional Integrity Project released a new report titled, Coup II: Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans Are Planning to Trash Our Democracy if They Lose. Again. The report outlines the steps MAGA Republicans are taking to subvert our democracy if they lose the 2024 presidential election. They are following the same tactics as they did before, during, and after the 2020 election, repeating the lies and violent rhetoric that led to the January 6, 2021 attack to stop the lawful results.
CIP sent out 5 rapid-response products, including statements, fact sheets, and roundups.

The Independent: Harris campaign calls BS after Trump team touts ‘demise’ of Project 2025. “Kyle Herrig, the executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project — one of the Democratic groups that has been highlighting Project 2025’s implications for voters — called Dans’ exit a mere fig leaf that ‘does not change a thing’ about the threat posed by the project. ‘Unfortunately for our country, Paul Dans’ resignation is not going to stop MAGA Republicans. Convicted felon Donald Trump and his lackey JD Vance support the extreme Project 2025 agenda and his resignation does not change the fact that they want to impose it on the American people. Speaker Mike Johnson and his fellow MAGA Republicans in Congress have been pushing policies outlined in Project 2025, all while doing everything in their power to try to get Donald Trump back into the White House,’ he said, adding that ‘Americans are still threatened’ by it.” [The Independent, 7/31/24]
