Project 2025 Becomes a Political Liability for Trump
Originally designed to streamline a potential second Trump administration, the conservative blueprint faces backlash and provides ammunition for Democratic attacks.
- Project 2025, created by the Heritage Foundation, outlines controversial policy recommendations for a potential second Trump presidency.
- Vice President Kamala Harris has used the project to mobilize Black voters, claiming it would strip away voting rights protections.
- Trump and his campaign have distanced themselves from Project 2025, despite its origins with his allies and contributions from former administration officials.
- The project includes contentious proposals such as reinstating Schedule F, which would make tens of thousands of federal civil servants political appointees.
- Democrats have capitalized on the project's controversial aspects, using it extensively in attack ads and campaign speeches.
