During a rare interview on MSNBC, New York Attorney General Letitia James made an impassioned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the next president and then launched a fiery attack on Donald Trump and his ties to the controversial Project 2025.

Speaking with "The Weekend" co-hosts Michael Steele and Symone Sanders-Townsend, James stated she recently took part in a mass call urging support for Harris and then launched into an explanation on how Trump is already implementing elements of Project 2025 as part of his campaign.

"Kamala Harris clearly is capable and is the most qualified individual to run for president, in fact more qualified than the last four presidents," she began before adding, " And it's important that individuals recognize our basic liberties and freedoms right now are being jeopardized."

"As the attorney general of the state of New York, I have joined with others to analyze Project 2025, and this is not something that is new to us," she continued. "This is something which Donald Trump is true too. Why? Because when he was president of these United States, I, and other attorney generals, Democrats attorneys generals, we had to sue him. In fact under my leadership, my office sued Donald Trump over 100 times and the basis of all of that was Project 2025."

"So he cannot distance himself from something that he has attempted to implement when he was president of these United States and we were successful, 70% of the time," she elaborated. "We were the firewall, Democratic attorney generals, and she, Kamala Harris, given her experience, given her background, someone who was obviously concerned about liberty and freedoms in this country and our democracy as a whole, she is the most qualified candidate to be president of these United States."

"And it's my singular focus to have her elected president of these United States, organizing, mobilizing and educating individuals about all that Trump did to divide us on constructs such as race, class, and gender," she added.

On Saturday morning the co-hosts and panel of guests on MSNBC's "The Weekend" were stunned by the number of volunteers who have signed up to help Vice President Kamala Harris win the presidency in November.

Kicking off the segment on Saturday, MSNBC's Symone Sanders-Townsend pointed out to her co-host Michael Steele that the Harris campaign has signed up a whopping 170,000 volunteers and has scheduled over 2,300 events in battleground states.

As she put it, "Vice President Kamala Harris is hitting the ground not just running but literally sprinting because it is just about 100 days that she has to make her case to the people."

"The Kamala Harris coalition is hosting 2300 events to motivate voters in key swing states, the campaign has more than 250 battleground offices to organize in the months ahead. And since Sunday, 170,000 new volunteers — these numbers are insane — have joined the campaign effort," she reported.

That led co-host Steele to speak to guest Tara Setmayer, a former GOP strategist, and point out, "Tara, you and I have been having a lot of fun over the last week watching the politics evolve around the vice president and how she has been able to transition from behind the curtain, if you will, to, you know, to the main stage. What is your assessment of this transitional week for her?"

"As Symone mentioned, 170,000 people, think about that, volunteered within a three or four day span to work on her campaign, raised over, well over $100 million, and seemingly has started to get under Donald Trump's skin," he added.

"There is one word and it is reinvigorated," Setmayer replied. "The country, the voters, the Democratic base is reinvigorated.That is evidenced by what we have seen since last Sunday. It hasn't even been a week, people — it hasn't even been a week."

Fox News host Neil Cavuto wonders if Republicans are underestimating Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, whose prosecutorial finesse on the debate stage may pose a serious threat to Donald Trump.

“I’m wondering if Republicans – because they focus on things that seem silly to me, like the cackling and all of that – don’t appreciate the fact this woman could be a barracuda,” Cavuto said during his afternoon broadcast on Fox News Friday. “She is a prosecutor and she will try, in any exchange with Donald Trump, to prosecute him, and I don’t know if they appreciate the magnitude of that.”
