Jaime Harrison issued his final memo after four years at the helm of the Democratic Party. He focused on Democrats’ most successful messaging in an otherwise crushing election cycle: Project 2025.

Specifically, the memo, shared exclusively with NOTUS, argued how the conservative agenda-defining document would adversely affect the many rural voters that helped elect Donald Trump to a second term.

“After historic investments in rural America under the Biden-Harris administration, Trump’s first week in office leaves no room for doubt: Trump will enact his Project 2025 agenda and devastate rural communities across America,” the memo read.
