Literally and figuratively, Mallory McMorrow of Michigan threw the book at former Republican president Donald Trump at the Democratic National convention in Chicago last week. Thump! It bumped atop the lectern on the podium when she slammed it down.⁠
⁠
McMorrow, a state senator from Oakland County, made her point with the oversized prop that represented the so-called “Project 2025” — plotted by Trump’s supporters.⁠
⁠
She said the right-wing blueprint for extreme change in government could turn Trump into a dictator if the former President is elected over the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, on Nov. 5.⁠
⁠
“If Donald Trump gets back into the White House he’s going to fire civil servants, like intelligence officers, engineers, and even federal prosecutors, if he decides that they don’t serve his personal agenda,” McMorrow said. “They’re talking about replacing the entire federal government with an army of loyalists who answer only to Donald Trump.”⁠
⁠
McMorrow was one of several, high-profile Michigan women to make prominent appearances at the festive, four-day event. The major purpose, of course, was the nomination of Harris — the second-ever woman atop the ticket — to replace the retiring President Joe Biden.⁠
⁠
In harmony with that, the convention spotlighted elected women officials in their prime who are still rising in popularity. And, because Michigan is one of at least a half-dozen “swing states,” it made sense that several from the Great Lakes State would take the stage.⁠
