Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) on Sunday called the conservative policy agenda Project 2025 a “Jim Crow 2.0.”

Clyburn said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he was the ninth Black lawmaker elected to Congress from South Carolina — almost 100 years after the previous Black lawmaker was elected.

He said that was because of the Jim Crow era, and he likened Project 2025 to the segregation of the early 1900s.

Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, drafted by the Heritage Foundation, but Democrats have worked to link the two on the campaign trail.

“Black men, like everybody else, want to know exactly what I can expect from a Harris administration, and I’ve been very direct with them, and I’ve contrasted that to what they can expect from a Trump administration,” Clyburn said.

“We will expect Project 2025 to be a full-blown policy in his administration. And what will that policy be? I described it on the first night of our national convention, and I’ve been describing it that way ever since,” Clyburn said. “It will be Jim Crow 2.0.”

“If you look at Project 2025, it will be Jim Crow 2.0, and I am amazed at the number of people who actually are interested in contrasting that,” he said.
