Congressional Black Caucus PAC launches fight against GOP efforts to implement Project 2025

The Congressional Black Caucus PAC has vowed to expose what it calls a “dangerous agenda” from “extreme Republicans” following the GOP’s success at the ballot boxes this year.

The PAC announced on Monday that it plans to fight back against any proposed legislation aligning with Project 2025.

“The CBC will hold the line to protect Americans from the danger of extremist Republicans and their hate-filled Project 2025 agenda,” the PAC said in a memo on Monday.

“In the streets, the courtroom, and in Congress, the CBC will build coalitions with Americans of goodwill to fight for a fair economy and defend freedom. House and Senate Republicans should be on alert, we will expose and define their dangerous, reckless agenda out the gate — Americans will have a clear-eyed-view of the stakes next November.”

The PAC added that the caucus has a mandate to fight for economic and social justice.

The group’s stance against Project 2025 isn’t surprising — every member of the CBC is a Democrat. Both the caucus and its PAC have pushed back against the conservative blueprint, often highlighting the impact it would have on Black Americans.

But with the largest CBC class in history, the PAC hopes the caucus can successfully push back on Republicans’ agenda.

The CBC will have 62 members in the 119th Congress, the most since its inception 53 years ago.

The caucus’s full frontline — including its chair, Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) — were all reelected this year. Meanwhile, multiple candidates made history, such as Rep.-elect Janelle Bynum, who becomes the first Black woman to represent Oregon.

The PAC is hoping the election of Sens.-elect Angela Alsobrooks and Lisa Blunt Rochester will allow for success in the upper chamber.

But the PAC will also lean on five CBC members, who will be ranking members in committee: Rep. Gregory Meeks (N.Y.) on Foreign Affairs; Virginia’s Rep. Bobby Scott on Education; Rep. David Scott (Ga.) on Agriculture; Rep. Bennie Thompson (Miss.) on Homeland Security; and Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) on Financial Services.

“While Republicans control Washington, House Republicans will again hold just a narrow majority,” the PAC said.

“With the leadership of Hakeem Jeffries, the CBC and House Democrats will seek common ground, expose extreme Republicans' dangerous agenda, and fight to rebuild America's social compact that means the dignity of work is respected, opportunities for wealth are created, and American freedoms are protected.”
