Clyburn warns Project 2025 could revive Jim Crow laws

Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina warned that Project 2025 could lead to a return of Jim Crow laws if implemented. His comments followed President-elect Donald Trump's recent victory, reviving concerns about the controversial conservative agenda. Clyburn has criticized Project 2025 since its introduction, calling it "Jim Crow 2.0." He expressed fears that the current political climate resembles the post-1876 election period, which ended Reconstruction and initiated Jim Crow laws. Despite Trump's attempts to distance himself from Project 2025, some supporters, including Steve Bannon, have embraced it as a key agenda. Bannon highlighted a conservative commentator's claim that Project 2025 is now the focus for Trump's administration.
