During a rare interview on MSNBC, New York Attorney General Letitia James made an impassioned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president and then launched a fiery attack on Donald Trump and his ties to the controversial Project 2025.
Speaking with "The Weekend" co-hosts Michael Steele and Symone Sanders-Townsend, James stated she recently took part in a mass call urging support for Harris and then launched into an explanation on how Trump is already implementing elements of Project 2025 as part of his campaign.
"Kamala Harris clearly is capable and is the most qualified individual to run for president, in fact more qualified than the last four presidents," she began before adding, " And it's important that individuals recognize our basic liberties and freedoms right now are being jeopardized."

"As the attorney general of the state of New York, I have joined with others to analyze Project 2025, and this is not something that is new to us," she continued. "This is something which Donald Trump is true too. Why? Because when he was president of these United States, I, and other attorney generals, Democrats attorneys generals, we had to sue him. In fact under my leadership, my office sued Donald Trump over 100 times and the basis of all of that was Project 2025."
"So he cannot distance himself from something that he has attempted to implement when he was president of these United States and we were successful, 70% of the time," she elaborated. "We were the firewall, Democratic attorney generals, and she, Kamala Harris, given her experience, given her background, someone who was obviously concerned about liberty and freedoms in this country and our democracy as a whole, she is the most qualified candidate to be president of these United States."
"And it's my singular focus to have her elected president of these United States, organizing, mobilizing and educating individuals about all that Trump did to divide us on constructs such as race, class, and gender," she added.
